progressing well

Wow!
Definitely hit the mark with both the eyes and flesh tones!! Can't wait to see this completed.

Thanks for your comments guys, and sorry for the massive photo image.

Latest update pics. Tweaking the highlights and shadows on the face by stippling.

Nice! I like that effect! Really makes a difference.

Looking superb, mate. The new stippling technique works really well

Hi Tony, excellent progress! Looking forward for the finish piece

Hi Tony,
This is really a superb sculpt, it must be a real pleasure to paint this, coming along beautifully.

Simply stunning Work !!

A really nice rendition of facial flesh tones I look forward to the rest of this piece.

Thanks again for all your comments guys. Base coating done on bronze breast plate armour and red leather ptergres. I'm still not sure what colour to paint the cloak.

Hi Tony. Looking real good as always. When I painted this piece I painted the cloak imperial purple rather than red.

Cheers Peter

I've decided to go with the traditional red float after all but there will be some decoration added.

I've used AK a True Metals wax to give a buff & rub shine to the bronze metal cuirass. The ornamental relief sculpts on the armour will be silver.

More progress on the red cloak last night. I'm gradually defining and refining the shape and position of the shadows and highlights.

I've also added silver to the relief ornamental sculptures on the breast plate armour.

The juices are flowing and the work on the cloak progresses. I still have to apply a few washes and apply the rub & buff wax to the metal work to get a high shine, but it coming along.

I've glued the head in place now.

I like your choice of red for the cloak.
The whole piece just looks right.

Cheers,
Andrew

Sweet!!!!
