    Hi David,

    You've done a stunning and very atmospheric job on this one !
    As ever, your paintwork is incredibly subtle - the treatment of the metalwork is astonishing ! This was the first figure that I designed for Ray Lamb back in 1985 and it was also the first figure by anyone other than Ray to be released under his Poste Militaire banner.
    As a consequence, THE VIKING CHIEFTAIN has always been an important milestone to me. Over the years I have seen many versions of the figure - and without doubt, this one has got to be one of the very best !
    Thanks for making such an excellent job of it - you've made an old guy very happy. (especially as it has just been described in a previous thread as a 'dumpy/dwarfish' sculpt !)

    Well done mate,

    All the Best,

    Keith

    Hi David. Beautiful job on this! I have the same fig built and awaiting a slap of paint on it. You might have inspired me to get back to it!

    Probably the best rendition of this figure that I've seen anywhere. Real 5-Star stuff.
