    A bit more progress. First pass on his jacket, I'm fairly happy with the shading but it probably needs a scarlet glaze as it looks a bit dull and brownish at the minute.

    A bit more progress. And after looking at the photos I realise that there is much to do, he's looking a bit rough and shiny at the minute i.e. the painting's a bit rough and the finish is a bit shiny ;) (in the photos at least, he looks a little better in the flesh).

    A few suicide-zoom shots to show how rough he's looking at the minute - today will mostly be a rescue mission methinks :(

    Its been a while since I took any WiP pics of this one but I've not been slacking (promise). I started to put together some of the main parts this morning which turned out to be a bit emotional (note to self: don't do such a good job of gluing stuff to temporary bases in future) but its starting to come together. As a result of this morning's debacle I've now got a bit of repair work to do (chipped paint, glue spots etc.). I've also still got a bit of detail work to do on the base and the shield only has a base coat on it for now.

    Anyhoo, here are some pics of progress so far:

    Thanks for tuning in, comments and critique are heartily welcomed, as always :)
