    Nice job on the tartan but agree, the blue looks much more appropriate(y)

    Hi all had a great reply from Dr Jody Joy at the museum, there is no evidence either way as to if Vikings had tartan, none has been found in any graves but that doesn't mean that they didn't as many areas of Britain had tartan and Vikings were great traders as well as raiders. Surprisingly enough there has been tartan cloth found in Roman graves in Britain, that could have been a Roman or a local that had taken on Roman ways, doesn't clear this up but it leaves room for scope :)

    Just a tiny point Paul the shading on the gambeson is counter to normal shading ie the recesses are lighter than the uppers due to the way it wears ie

    I think it looks better, i had to deepen the shades on the bottom edge of the padded parts and the crease is off white, white was a bit stark

    I first noticed it on my bike jacket the way the red quilted lining was black where it rubbed but the creases not coming into contact with anything were still bright red as new

    I like the way you've managed to change the shades and highlights in mid paint.
    It looks very effective.
    Good suggestion from Steve (I'll have to keep that in mind for the future).

    Cheers,
