    Thanks!

    I hesitate to make the hair slightly blonde to contrast with the hat, but I'll see ;)

    Painting the base color of the tunic with airbrush, I used off-white colors, not pure white. Head is not glued yet.

    The late roman tunic was called Tunica manicata and usually had ornaments influenced by the Germans, which served in the auxilary units:

    Thanks!

    Yes, I will enhance some highlights here and there (I cannot catch them well with the camera, on live looks better) , of course there will be washes, filters, pigments etc. for more weathered look ;)

    Cheers!

    Nap,

    I will use the included base with some additional grass tufts etc.

    I painted the staff and the sling, also the base, with some grass tufts and wild blossoms. I will look overall if there is need for touch-ups here and there, cheers :)

    Hi Nap,

    I will look first if there's need of finishing touches (maybe light filter on the tunic)

    So now the voting is with likes under the entry? If so, I already did that ;)
