I do, too.

I also now really consider to try that changing metall-plate-pattern as well. Looks quite cool. Also that blue from the shield. Quite a colourful and handsome little fellow.  :-*

Nice mini and a great paintjob - especially on the shield.

Very nice!  The bold shading and color pallet works really well.

Love the paintwork, especially the shield. It really 'pops'.

Gorgeous.. are there some good youtube videos you recommend that talk about doing such a painting in detail?  So beautiful, I'd like to learn how.

hi thanks again for all the nice comments. The only tip I can give you is practice, practice and more practice. It's taken me more than 25 years to get to this standard.
I always use high quality brushes and a fine rigger brush for high detail.
Rigger brushes were used by artists to paint the fine rigging on their maritime paintings. They are ideal for painting fine highlights, and symbols etc.
