I've jus' finished assemblin' this! Mould lines are almost non-existent requirin' minimal clean-up. Everythin' fitted together OK, with only a little need for some Milliput and Liquid Putty, jus' to give it a little more refinement.

I am watching mate keep us posted!!!!

I hope you good at painting metal

Hope to see it painted soon. I do not like the figure, because i don't like the helmet.
I think you gonna executed him very well.

Fascinating piece. I've had my eye on this one. Have fun with it, and keep posting your progress!

Kyle

Thanks for lookin', guys!

OK, these are the choice colours i'm usin' on this figure. They're from Vallejo, and are Emerald and Violet Red.

After applyin' the Emerald colour, I kind of hit a brick wall when it came down to mixin' a highlight for this shade. I never had any Sap Green oil paint! So in the end I mixed Yellow Naples Hue in with Cobalt Blue Hue, and came up with a suitable shade. I found out that if I mixed a lot of Yellow Naples into the Cobalt Blue you only end up gettin' a lighter shade of blue and not a green colour you'd expect. Yellow Naples seems to have a lot more white in it than Yellow, now I know! Its strange, jus' by mixin' a little of the Yellow Naples oil paint I got the shade of green I was after. In the end the brick wall was only a fence, and allowed me to progress.

The highlight for the Violet Red consisted of mixin' Yellow Naples Hue (again), in with Dioxazine Purple.

Yellow Naples Hue is the key colour for mixin' highlight shades!

Here is what its lookin' like with the decorations on his straps.

I got some more progress made on this figure. I used Vallejo Red for his lower tunic colour and scabbard.

Looking good mate!!!!! Keep us posted!!!

Wow, looks really good !!! I keep close to see your next step painting this excellent figure.

Cheers,
Markus

Cheers guys!

I got the plate armour done. I basecoated it and then shaded each greave with a mix of Burnt Umber and Lamp Black oil paint.

Paul,
WOW, Love the colours. Looks really nice.

Thanks John.

This is nearly finished, with jus' the base left to do. The shield was painted with Vallejo Red, and Vallejo Medium Olive was used for the six points.

A magnificient figure! Already placed on my wishlist. Good job so far! Like the shield colours!

Re: Sassinid Warrior

Outstanding Paul! The colors really make it pop. The metals are excellent as well; that shield is beautiful.

I have to admit that this figure didn't really do much for me when it was first released, but I'm sold now. It goes on the wants list!

Cheers,

Glen

Getting better and better as you progress my friend!!!!!
