Well like I said I wanted to paint this one, and managed to get this done tonight. I think it was the blue and white scheme with the detail on the end of the cloak that did it for me. Firstly I did the armour and the dark blue cloak – this went easily. That’s was it for the first nights work, then tonight I completed it. The issue with this again was the white part of the cloak. It always looks fantastic when the professionals do hightlighs in white. But this just does not look as smooth as the pictures on the paint guide. No matter what I do I cannot get white stuff to look right, and I did loads of different coats as well. No worry. After that the hair and the face went really easy.
Got to tidy the base and put some grass on it but here it is – nearly finished.
