I'm going to add some stripes or tartan to him, since I'm on a roll with that. I love the figure, but I'm disappointed with my painting. But I haven't decided how/what yet. So he's done for the moment. I will leave him sitting on my desk as I paint other stuff so I can ponder how to finish him.
Nice painting. Tricky business to get a solid paint job that will stand up to the camera.
ReplyDeleteI have a sprue of the new Germans & find that they are much better than the original Celts. The faces have more detail and one piece body is a big improvement.
I also like the Germans better. I like the separate arms as well as the single piece bodies and better heads, as you mention.
ReplyDeleteAt Historicon I got to see a sprue of their upcoming Vikings and they are significantly better than the Germans, so they're continuing to improve.
