Did some work on this guy today.
He's a great sculpt albeit slightly on the small scale.
Tried more contrast with the reds.
I tried the smaller red and white checks as seen on the box art about 5 times over but it was far too difficult.
So I opted for bigger black and white checks...I have to say these checks were the most difficult thing I have ever painted.
Just need to check what colour of hair Spartans had...

Figure with reds completed, armour scales not highlighted or shadowed and flesh base colour.


Helmet highlighted and checks completed.

how you paint the metals??? very nice start by the way!!

I like the checks a lot, great start!

Grant,
Those checks look fine to me .
Cheers
John

Looks good

I would have thought by now you would know what color of hair they had

Hi Grant, another great painting. Really great start.

Great start Grant, as others have said the checks and metals are very nice.

Andrew.

I see nothing to worry about - looks great to me. Keep us up to speed.
