    I actually finished this guy a couple of weeks ago, but I just today got around to completing the groundwork. This is the Mercury Models kit in 75 mm and all painted up in acrylics.

    I agree with all that have already been said.

    I like very much the Chain-mail. I don't like very much those that are very bright that seems to be done in stainless steel.

    Congratulations.(y)

    Thank you Ken! The shield was actually kinda fun. I drew the pattern with a pencil then filled in with yellow followed by the green. Just takes a lot of passes in order to get opacity and a clean, even look:eek:!

    Gracias Eduardo! It was my intent to keep the colors toned down and more natural looking. In some cases I added a touch of grey in the mix. Some of the Vallejo metallics are a bit grainy, so I'm searching for paint that has a more realistic metal sheen. Thanks again.

    Ahh, you noticed!

    I came across pics of dagger sheaths with engraving and in some cases, patterns simply scratched in. The sheath would of been plain looking so I just painted on a few lines. Thanks for checking him out and commenting Adrian.
