Guy

very nice! looks like quite a bit of details painting in it..

glad you got the gallery figured out, trust me i know it's not known to be very user friendly

Hi Guy, I should have given a bit more detail in the first post. It's a scratchbuild from Milliput and is painted using Metalcote, watercolours and acrylics for the damascing.

Glad you like it.

nice sculpting work
what method did you use for the chainmail?

The chainmail is done by spreading a layer of putty across, and then using a piece of brass rod (the size depends on the scale) with half of the end cut out, to make a half moon shape.

Then you have to imprint each ring of mail individually in an 'S' shape . A bit painstaking but it means that you can add the folds in the mail first and then imprint around and along them depending on where it falls on the body.
