Looks great, really nice work. I really like the overall subdued and somber tone.

Thanks very much Phil. Having admired other peoples figures painted with subdued tones that's exactly what I wanted to experiment with on this
one.

...The armour is simply Citadel Boltgun Metal with oil washes applied for shading.

Wow, Roger! I'm with the others, I think you've really captured the look of steel, maintained, kept clean but not polished or burnished. I almost thought it was white metal, treated with washes. Congratulations on your foray into three dimensions!

Prost!

Thank you very much Brad.
I'm a big believer in keeping things simple and that way of painting metal is as simple as it gets.

Having seen some lovely versions online by Russian painters it crossed my mind to try something like that and then I decided it was a bit beyond my capabilities.
Nicework.
