Well done. He looks great. Lovely work on the shield and the cloak

I've had that figure sitting half finished on a shelf for two years... On one hand it's a great dynamic figure. On the other hand, it's just a little bit flat and some of the anatomy feels a tiny bit off - huge admirer as I am of Bill's work. So I slightly lost interest in it. But your very nice version is my wake-up call to crack on with him!

(Just noticed your model seems to have a mis-cast/missing right foot. What a shame. Mine's not like that...

Thanks, Captain !

I hope to see your own model soon. With your painting, I'm sure it will be cool.

For the miscast on the right foot, you are right.
But as it was a second hand mini (I paid less than 2€ for it), it's ok for me...

Fantastic paintjob.

You are correct, that mini is indeed a pleasure to paint and that is an excellent job! I have him and painted mine as per the description in The Winter King as this mini is one of the few with the knee-length "fish-scale" armor. But I painted my shield simply silver as described in the book and it doesn't quite sit well with me. Your shield is fantastic and much more interesting.

But yea, that figure just about paints itself. I find that there are a very few figures where the paint just seems flow naturally on the figure and this is one of them.

Great job on that
