Thanks.
You can't see it, but the eaglewings, and lightning arrows are under the shieldcover. But i wasn't satisfied after 3 times. And at some point you are done with a figure.

Marc

Marc

nice job. I like the not often modelled covered shield. The split in the cover explains it to the casual observer (I've been toying with this idea myself).

Hi Marc,
They look good.The cloaks are well done.
Andy

Lovely paint job on both figures Marc!

Cheers,

Håkan

Great looking figures Marc. I particularly like the fellow with the green garment. His cloak looks amazing. Also like your improvisation with the covered shield. Really nice looking results.

Hi Marc

You have created a lovely vignette and you have taken your painting yet another step up. Love the subdued colours. It is a pitty that you did not pull off the shield design, but hey, next time you will, I am sure. I notice that you followed my earlier advice and added different colour accents to the animal pelts which as you can see creates more dept.

Adding the leather cover was a convenient solution though it is a pitty that the thickness is a little bit out of scale. Do not know how you got started but I would have rolled out the putty to a thickness of 0,5 mm and then draping and adjusting it over the shield.

Still, very good work!

Johan

Thanks Johan.
The advise whas great for the fur. The moment i brought on the different colors they where more alive. Thanks for that.
As for the cover: I rolled out A+B putty for less then 0,5 mm. Lay it on the shield and draped it over. Let it dry. The next day the "folds" around the shield didn't look right so i sculpted them over. Then I added a ribbon made of very thin greenstuff and carved them a little bit in. Then i added the cover on the bos and made from leadwire the "ornament".
I must agree with you that it looks on the side and upperside a bit out of scale but in the pictures it looks more overscaled then in reality.

Anyway again for all the advice. See you in January????

Simply lovely

Marc, great work and a nice idea to cover the shield, something different.

Cheers Ken

Tony and Ken,
