Hello my friends. Charles Flahaut is finished and I´m beginning to paint new figure from Latorre. Northumbrian warrior, 8th-9th C.
My friend made cloak from Green Stuf(Duro). He is very skilful

....some photos of course

Great addition!

OKC

that cloak make alot off difference, at a great figure.
Waiting for your painting.

Hey, really nice job on the cloak. ~Gary

I hope you will see that I am trying to give you some good advice...

I agree the addition of the cloak enhances the appearance of the figure.
My experience fighting in them is that it´s even hotter work than wearing just padding and mail. Also cloaks get in the way in all kinds of ways.
So I soon dropped wearing mine if I was going to exert myself.
They would however certainly be worn whilst out in bad weather, travelling and during night watches.

The weight of a cloak like this pulls it tight up against the throat.
If you can get your friend to move that brooch accordingly this will look even better.

Very nice conversion! The figure looks much better so.
Spike! You are right, but I don't know this warior has just began to deal with the fight or he is in the watch? He is very calm, or not?

Cheers,
Balázs

i'm sure it's going to be a smashing piece!
love the cape !!!

lovely figure ,better with that mantle!!!

Jay, thanks...
Mark, thanks...
Gary, thanks...
Spike, thank you for your informations. I hope the brooch is not so bad and the figure will look nice with this small mistake . My friend sculpt only fantasy figure. His informations about history figures are limited...provisionally because hi learn quickly
Balácz, thanks...
Vergilius, thanks...I hope I dont break down this figure
Dim, thanks...

The cloak looks great, your friend did a good job.
Looking forward to seeing it painted.
Cheers

Addition of cloak give scompletly other felling to this mini, i think its very good, but a bit too straight..

Very nice addition to the figure!!
Funny, today a ran into a article of Juan Carlos Avila who did something similar.
Have fun with the painting!!

Thats a nice looking paint job.
On this one it´s plausible that the effect of the weight of the shield on its strap over his shoulders is preventing the cloak from slipping up to his throat.

Looking forward to seeing yours painted, Taiko.

Spike.

Rocco, thanks...I tell him your nice words. He will be glad...
Szymon, thanks...
Marcel, thanks...Juan Carlos Avila is a good painter. If mine comes out half as nice as Juans I will be happy.
Spike, thanks...

Nice work
i think the cloack needs more work.After priming it looks a bit rough
Wet and dry sand paper should do the trick
