Wow, what an amazing looking project! The cloaks and tunics on the Celts are indeed works of art!

I am amazed by your standard of work.
If I was to nit-pick the ONLY glimmer of hope for us mortal painters...
The backs of the shields.

Glad you like them

You are allowed to say what you're not keen on as well you know

It's very nice getting compliments but if I can improve then I'm open to feedback. Funnily enough I have changed how I paint the back of the shields but I'm always up for some advice

May I suggest, for the back of the shields, a light/mid brown with a dry-brushed lighter brown.
Follow that, when dry, with the (plank?) lines drawn with a sharp pencil,
& a few finer/lighter grain lines also with pencil. The higher the 'B' content the darker the
line will appear when you spray varnish over it. I find this a LOT easier to control than a brush.
I hope this helps, or at least is of some use/interest to you.
Please keep up with the lovely pictures.

Thank you, I will certainly give this a try. I hadnt thought of using normal pencils before, I have heard of people using mapping pens but I havent used them myself. I'll get a variety of B pencils and have a play around

See, an old dog can learn new tricks

I don't know about you, but I most definitely am old.

When using the pencil(s) remember to keep a sharpener handy.
The higher the lead content in the pencil, the quicker it goes blunt.
