Thise are superb Agis. I loove the depth of the flesh tone and greens you have achieved on Nemo. As for Ironcladman, I have to admit that the bare metal figure did nothing for me but your painting has brought this mini to life. Excellent work.

Really, really good stuff! I love them.

Mine are still in the packaging! Must pull them out and do something with them really!

Nemo was my favourite too! As far as Ironclad Man is concerned, I just loved the Ironman Mk 0 look...

Lovely figures beautifully painted.
Being hypercritical (of the figure, not the paintjob), Nemo is a little chubby in the face for me, but then everyone has their own opinion of how he should look, and I'm still looking forward to painting mine,  :).

Still, a chap ought to look smart in front of the men, don't you think?

Same thing went through my mind about his face. The paintjob is terrific though.  :)

You did a great job  :o. Nemo is brilliant and its colors make it very original.
The Ironclad "Gentle"Man reminds me of a certain superhero movie released recently ...
I see a couple of "mistakes":
1st gun end of Quatermain (best in black)
2nd that minis are not mine  lol

Was my thought too, I see him more haggard and gaunt.
I tried hard to make him appear more lean, but somehow the mini has its limits... ;)

Beautiful! :-*

I agree, the bare metal Ironclad Man didn't do much for me, but the painting really brings him to life!

I have to agree. Looks much better with a coat of paint bringing him to life.

I didn't take time to look at the green in any detail, whoops! It is brilliantly vibrant and looks quite silky. Could you tell us the recipe?  :) I really like it too.
