G'day all. My latest project Pegaso's Viking Chieftain. Painted in acrylics with oil paint washes to weather the armour and other metals. With much wailing and gnashing of teeth from the purists, I included the wings on the helmet, as honestly, how can you build this kit and leave them off?

Hi Graham,
I really like colours, tones and contrasts you have achieved on this figure it all balances very well and the very subtle details such as the stitching and bone handle on the knife.
cheers

I love this figure. I always have, and I haven't got it!! It's a crime really. You have made a great job of this Macca. The skin tones are excellent and the shield gives a nice splash of colour to the kit. I agree with you about the helmet. Wings may have been a bit unrealistic and romantic in Viking times but on this figure they give it real charisma. Excellent work.

Very nicely painted.

This could be the best viking in the market in my opinion. And you have done it great justice. Congrats.

Thanks for the comments guys. I 've just made the switch to predominately using Jo Sonya acrylics and have really been pleased with the results.

Great job Macca. Good call keeping the wings on the helmet. Beautiful psint job and choice of colours.

Beautifully done Graham congrats

Having a lifelong interest in the Vikings, I can say that the wings are wrong, but who cares? The whole thing looks great.
Best wishes, Gary.

Your work is just getting better and better. Exceptional job on this one Graham, can't wait to see it in the flesh.

Great work, very natural looking colours and restrained highlights/shadows.

By the way mate, well done on your recent success at the Model Expo in Melbourne where you dominated the Open Figures category.

Very very nicely done.

Lovely job on this piece. I'm a wings off man myself but where someone uses them it's important that they don't become the dominant part of the figure.
You've got it just about perfect. The wings tie into the piece so well because of your excellent choice of colours, and well done for 'banding' the feathers horizontaly.
Also like the belt of colour the shield gives the figure
Cheers
