    I have never tried a figure like this and would probably steer clear but your work here has my full interest Billy.
    I'm amazed at what you are getting into this piece with super brush work and colour selection.
    Good work.

    Thanks Keith, I really appreciate your praise and I'm glad you like her :)

    I got home a bit late from work today so the light wasn't so great, these photos are taken in artificial light so they are a bit naff imho.

    Anyhoo, last nights progress...

    I did a bit more work on the metals, a bit more on her hair and picked out a few of the little details

    Thanks Roger (y)

    You make me feel slightly guilty every time you post because I've still got 3 little flats sitting in my shed unloved at the minute. Every time I see I see your avatar I think "Ok, I promise I'll try painting a flat next" but it never happens :(

    The new base arrived today and I'm very impressed with the quality of the casting. Its from a Polish company, Micro Art Studio and I think I would defo buy from them again. I took a couple of quick snapshots:

    It's a pity that I only need a small section (probably the bottom part of the right hand piece) so I'll have to chop them up a bit :(

    A bit more progress, unfortunately a little model show in Folkestone got in the way :)

    She's starting to come together now but it still seems like there's a long way to go. The figure is only attached to the base temporarily so that's why it looks like she's about to fall over backwards. The dragon and base are both really rough at the minute but I'm happy with the way the verdigris on the brass is progressing (I knew I'd find a use for that pesky Cobalt Turquoise eventually ;))

    I'm thinking about the best way to replicate moss on the flagstones so if anyone has any ideas then I'm all ears, my favourite idea so far is to use kiln sand over PVA for the general shapes and texture which I'll then paint with various greens and ochres.

    Anyhoo, here's some pics:

    p.s. ignore the blue circle on the base, it was an experiment that went horribly wrong.

    Thanks again for tuning in. As always, comments and critique are most welcome :)

    Progressing well now Billy.
    The only suggestion for moss that I have, is Woodland scenic's product's.
    If you like I could send you a sample,(free of course).PM me if you wish.
    Ralph.

    Yeah man, beatiful colours for Daenerys Targaryen. Likes me a lot your work.
    I paint with acrilics, but i'm making experiments with oil for some things, and myself is very lost with the colours to get, so with your permission i'm gonna steal some your selection colours. Thanks mate
