    Thank you all for commenting.
    Brian i think you ll be more than satisfied with this one.
    Did some progress on him. Painted the animal skin, tiger like the box art. Most beautiful creature on this planet in my opinion.
    Let me know what you think.

    Fascinating. I always wonder what is a people's background and experiance when they do such an incredible paint work. I realize it is a combination of talent and a hard work. It makes me feel little jelous :) I do not believe I can reach such a high level.

    Anyway did you paint the tiger skin with acrylics?

    Looks great so far Dimitrios!

    Tiger fur varies in colour obviously but I'd suggest going a little more orange than this for contrast as at the moment the colours are a little similar to the fleshtones.

    Also, it looks like it's not common to have many stripes on the upper surface of the front legs, near the paws especially:

    Thank you all for you kind words. I really appreciate them.
    Piotr the tiger hide was made totally with acrylics, as the rest of the figure with the exception of metal parts.
    Einion great reference photos! I searched like an afternoon for photos of a tiger's leg and couldn't find anything as good as these ones. As for the color of the skin i highlighted it a bit more to give it a furry texture after taking the pics.
    Thank you all.

    Finally, the conversion is all the money all the miniature changed for the better, of course, because surgery on the chest rather not succeeded,''well Carles made a stunning figure with huge muscles toned enough, you can not top the muscles of the chest?''
    However Dimitri the animal you came out great, keep our resources!!

    Marc, Eddy, Alexandros thank you for the comments.
    I did some more progress these days. Alot of metals and started the shield. I thought about painting some decorations but it seems to me that it is already greatly decorated by the sculptor so i left a plain blue.
    Waiting for your opinion.
    Thank you.

    Hi Dimitrios, I eagerly waited for more pictures, because you woke up my big interest for this beautiful kit. I think, that the pose and such a weird musculature more fantasy then realistic are the biggest advantages of this kit, as it looks unussual. Your work on this is truly amazing. Skin all together with iron parts and bandages it all look very very artistic. Just I would paint the blue shield more pale, I think the blue is too vivid and colourful, but it could be a matter of camera.
    Will you use the helmet in the scenery? it would add some atmosphere just let it there like fallen in the ground during the fight...
