Hey Folks-

Some progress on my next figure.

The helm is mostly done, but after photo's I noticed some areas for touch up.
Armor is done in GS Mr metal. No weathering yet.

Messed with the camera some this time, too. First use of a tripod (whoa... big help!) and presetting the white balance to the background rather than auto.

As always, looking for ways to improve the armor. Pls give your comments and suggestions.

And, thanks to Johnny Grogan for the tips for the horns.

Yeap great work on the helm Keith.. those horns really look real.

Looking great Keith.....will watch this one develop

Hey Keith,looks real good so far, I like the way you did the horns.



Keep up the good work.

Cheers
Roc.

Way to go Kieth! I had my Teutonic knight from Pegaso (the Grandmaster though) and was cleaning him up. I'm very much looking forward to seeing you do this. Share your (Johny Grogan's) technique for horns. Thay look very good.

Hey Keith,

The horns look really nice and you have done a nice job on the tunic, smooth. I am glad it helped and look forward to seeing the really nice white that you paint.

Joe

Good work keith, is a very great figure. ciao from luca

Alex, Guy, Roc and Xenophon-

Thanks very much for the nice comments. I have to say this Pegaso piece is the finest quality that I have painted so far. The Laracca scupt is great - subtle menace. But, the casting was flawless. No clean up and perfect dry fit.

Keith

Jim - Thanks for the comments on the horn. I used the warhammer bubonic brown as base, many very thin highs of bubonicbrown and bone white and adding progressively toward the top of the horns with the last few coats of pure bone white. The shadow is many thin coats of Val black. Painted in some thin lines of black and val choc brown. When dry 2 thin coats of linseed oil 25% and thinner 75%.

Joe - Yes. Your white SBS got me to give white acrylics a go. If I mess up I know who to blame... :lol:

Luca - I appreciate yourt comments. I studied your version of this figure from your site. Your version is a great inspiration.

Keith

The horns are excellent. Looking forward to seeing the rest of the figure

Looks great so far. Like the horns!

Man, you guys must be psychic... :lol: After letting the torso sit since mid Dec, I spent yesterday working on the shades and highs. I started out with a too dark base on the surcoat and it's been tough to bring out the darker shades. I'll post some pics toward the week end.

Thanks for the comments.

Keith
