    Hi Ernesto

    This looks excellent! I particularly like the way you have dealt with the metalwork - nicely subdued and not like the "chrome plate" that we sometimes see. The face is very nice too.

    I look forward to seeing this one finished

    Regards

    Hello and thank you all for your comments, for the metal parts I use only acrylics, a mix of chocolate brown, red brown, black, english uniform and grey metal from Tamiya, for the lights I add more metal grey with english uniform, second lights with metal gray and highlights a little bit of super silver from vallejo only for the extreme highlights not too much. For shadows I add more chocolate brown and black to the base color, when everything it's done I add a little bit of smoke from Tamiya to give it some gloss effect, remember not too much of this tamiya smoke, If you see that the metal are too shiny add some washes of english uniform....
    Thanks for your comments :)
    Hope helps

    Thanks for the formula on the metals. I guess this just goes to show that it is possible to get great results with Tamiya acylics... :) (y)

    Hello, the knight is almost finish, still to come some retouching and painting details, as you can see I begining the procces of the terrain, I think this pictures are better than the first I did, maybe because I change the camera's battery :lol:
    Hope you like it and comments more than welcome...
