cool paintjob!

the animal skin is lovely...

Mark

It is looking real good.

Marc

Hey there Tony,
Long time no see. It's good to see some of your stuff coming back on here Now then, you are saying 54mm is small? I would beg to differ (IE my WASMEx entry).

Now then, I don't know how far you have gotten into painting but the metals look as though they could maybe get a bit more definition going into them. I look forward to seeing the shield soon (and you paint bloody fast so it will probably will be sooner then I think).

Daniel

Hi Carl, Steve, Mark, Marc and Daniel,

Thanks for your comments guys. It's always pleasing to get positive feedback.

Daniel, I'm painting the shield at the moment, using Tommi's stencils. I spent last night preparing the groundwork for the base. I hope to post some pics of the finished piece in a few days. 54mm is small enough for me mate. My next one will be 120mm, just so I can refocus my eyes.

Tony,
Great looking figure so far. and love the reds.
Looking forward to the shield.
Cheers
John

Almost finished

Hi John,

Thanks so much for your generous comments.

I've almost done now, just a few final touches on the shield and helmet to do.

The laurel leaf pattern on the shield was done using Tommi Worton's excellent stencils set. I'd highly recommend it for anyone who needs help with intricate patterns and designs like this.

Well mate now you have the colours blocked in,..l take it your going to go to town on the detail,???A! brother..No cob,he's looking like good stuff...but just one little point, but its to late and its only an opinion, a dark Mahogany base shows off the reds and bronzes better....love my Romans...

cheers my son..Phil..

Tony,
Excellent looking figure!

Cheers,
Marcel.

Lovely job on this one Tony, i really like the lion fur and overall it is a very nice looking figure.

Steve

Great painting job on this very beautiful figure Tony, the stencils on the shield seem very cool ..i think i'll try them in my next roman soldier..

Stefano

Well,
I can only say that it is a stunning paintjob. The stencils from Tommi are great..it also worked for you on the shield.
Absolutely a great figure that should be prominent in the showcase.

Marc

Thank you Phil, Marcel, Steve, Carl, Stefano and Marc,

I'm so glad you like how he turned out. After being away from my modelling desk for over a month, I used this figure to help get me back "in the zone". I have to say I'm pretty happy with how he turned out.

Next is the Rorke's Drift bust in 1/9th scale.

Hi Tony

Dont know how I missed this one?

Another very nice result. This is the first of this Icon figure that I have seen painted, the quality of the kit looks pretty good and you have done a fine job.

Cheers
Tommi

Great result,Tony.
Beautiful painting,nice detail.
Well done,mate!
I agree with Phil on the choice of base,for the same reasons.

Really like the way this one turned out Tony,you are definitely back in the zone.

Cheers David

Wow Tony! Just caught this thread for the first time, and I have to say this one looks very nice. One of your best, I'd say!

Jason

Thanks Tommi, I'd have to agree with you. This Icon figure is excellent quality.

Thanks Mark, I agree with you and Phil but it's too late to change the base now.

Thanks David, yep I'm back in the zone and certainly inspired by what I saw at Euro.

Thanks Jason, it's very nice of you to say so and I humbly agree with you.

Thanks again for paint this figure Tony.
WELL DONE FRIEND!!!
I´ll waiting to see the Macedonian too...

Alex.

Hi Alex,

It was my pleasure to paint this magnificent figure. Thanks for producing it mate.

I'm looking forward to the Macedonian too.
