Although I cannot say I like the colours, I find the paintjob out of this world. What unbelievable skill!

Great sculpting (although I think the helmet rides too high on the head) and great painting although I too don't like the colors. Other then that, I just think it looks like a teeny bopper going out on Halloween for trick or treat. But I'm sure someone could make an excellent looking piece out of this. Isn't PF a great place to express our opinions with no fear of pissing someone off?...…………………………………………………...

I have some doubts about the colour choice of the cape and feathers. According to the book 'Die Farbe Blau im Historischen Schiffbau'by Joachim Mullerschon (The colour blue in histirical shipbuilding) - a well researched book - The Celts and Germanian folks (different to the Germans of our time, but same region) had a preference for blue, while the Romans and Greek people used the colours red, white and black in clothing and dhad little use for yellow, green and blue, as these were considered colours from the Barbarian tribes.
For those who are interested, the reference used for this information is F. Brunello, L'arte della tintura nella storia dell'umanito, Venice 1968.

As always I am willing to listen to well constructed counter arguments.

Kirill is a beast when painting. The best historical painter in my opinion, but...I have to agree with you guys. I don't like the color choices and I simply hate the copper NMM.

Thanks for the information. Although it's kind of common sense to go towards red, it's always good to have a researched reference

One can argue about accurate colours, helmet position et al (that reminds me the problems John Mollo stated having with Tony Richardson regarding the uniforms accuracy in "The Charge of the Light Brigade"... All for the sake of film creativity!) but nonetheless an outstanding work.
