A great little figure, excellent for practicing NMM, and thx to all the guys on the Rackham-EN and Uk-Cord forums for helping me with that.
I'd also like to thank Atacam for inspiring me to try the OSL similar to his version here: http://www.coolminiornot.com/78538 I don't think mine worked anywhere near as well, but I'm still fairly happy with it for a first attempt. And I expect trying to do it on copper is a bit harder that a grey/steel surface
Rating: - Thanks for the feedback. I think I've almost the the hang of the "more contrast and concentrated blending" thing that NMM requires.
As for the face plate I thought that it would be quite easy to do the light sourcing having read a couple of articles on it. Boy was I wrong, might just be me but was as hard as painting any small eye on a figure, just that I had to do it 10 times !!
Rating: 9 9! for the great glow on the helmet holes. all the holes are done really well. and the bronze nmm is nice too with patina/verdigris which is just right (not too strong).
