    This has taken me a bit longer than most figures, mainly because of the chain mail. Now it's finished I am very pleased with they way it's turned out.
    I was way out of my comfort zone with this figure but enjoyed the whole affair

    Thank you all very much for the compliments, this was a lovely change from my normal period.
    Now back to the late 19th century.

    Lovely piece Bob and great setting/groundwork that really shows off your work. Had to have a double take when I first saw it- not a drop of scarlet anywhere in sight! Keep up the good work.

    You're entitled to be pleased Bob, that's turned out really nice indeed. Colours & textures all look great and the groundwork is splendid. It's a Yes from me!

    Chain mail can be decptively tricky to get just right I find.

    Thank you all for more great compliment's, this was nearly painted as a Voltiguer. Exploring a different period gave me a boost and got the mojo juices flowing again. Will have to decide what gets to the bench next.
    Thank you again

    Thanks for the comment Del,
    I was looking for something different to do and I saw you post from a couple of months ago, I knew then that something with chainmail and armour would be the next one.
    So I can blame you for getting me hooked.
    The Vikings was a nick name for my old Regiment so it seemed appropriate too paint a Viking
