WIP Critique My Latest

[captnenglish]

Here is a pic of my latest WIP Pegaso's WE 2011 special edition William Tell. That I was lucky enough to pick up at SCAHMS as a raffle prize along with another Pegaso figure and a Romeo figure (all in one for the princely sum of $10 USD). Anyway here it is (sorry for the quality of the pic), still have lots to do. Not sure about the color of the boy's short sleeved shirt, I was going for a color called ladies bedstraw (more peach), and have no idea what color to paint WT's cap. The whole thing is done in a combination of acyrlics (Reaper, Vallejo, GW). Critque wanted.

Matthew lucky you, that's a great figure and the only other one I remember seeing painted is one by Carl Barton (housecarl) http://www.planetfigure.com/threads/william-tell-54mm.44616/
A great start and following.
Cheers Ken

Thanks Ken, I was truly thrilled to pck this little gem up since I was not able to attend WE. I can only hope mine turns out as nice as Carl's did. I save Carl's photos for reference when first got the kit.

Looks a great start Matthew. It is a lovely little figure, although the feather is a bit of a drama to fix.
Thanks for the compliment,
Carl.

It's a figure when you don't have it, you could only dream you have it.
What a beauty. Hopefully they bring it back in a couple of months.

Thanks Carl. I am not looking forward to havng to attach the feather at all. Question, did you have any issues attaching the arm holding the crossbow?

Agreed. Since I was unable to attend WE I had no dreams of ever getting a copy of this figure, but I admired it so. Then I won it in a raffle here in the states for a princely sum of $10 USD
