Hi all!

Here is my latst work, a Celtic Chieftain by Pegaso miniatures.

A real pleasure to paint, a bit less to put together. First time I did it it came together perfectly, for the undercoat. But then I put it apart, and that\'s where problems started...
Glue (some drips on your fingers... You approach your fingers... And they don\'t wan\'t to come apart again. Annoying.), gaps (where did they come from? I can\'t understand this, they weren\'t there the first time), quite a few problems. Well, I must have bent the parts when putting the mini apart. I see no other explanation.

As for the painting, oils, acrylics and enamels.
Colours used:
- GW ones: Catahan Green, Bestial Brown, Scorched Brown, Snakebite Leather, Skull White, Bleached Bone, Boltgun Metal, Mithril Silver, and that should be all.
- PA ones: Dark Prussian Blue, Orange Brown, Red Leather, Yellow Ochre, Black
- oils: Rembrandt ones... Lamp Black, Titanium White, Naples Yellow Red, Prussian Blue, Olive Green, Burnt Sienna; Van Gogh ones: Permanent Green Deep, Vermillon, Azon Yellow Medium.
- Enamels: Humbrol n°54 and 55, Humbrol metalcote 27001

I\'m quite satisfied with the overall result, eventhough I\'d have liked a more natural looking base...
I have to find out how to texture well rock, and most of all what to use for a realistic vegetation.
I guess I\'ll have a go in my garden to find useful stuff...

Your comments are more than welcome!

Beautful. If I had to critique, and it\'s a small one, I\'d say the highlights on the tunic and skirt\'s (?) is a bit too white. Real nice piece.

mmm.. very nice. I agree with previous speaker the only critique I have is that ther are too many white highlights, it looks slightly unnatural on some places when you compare the light colours to the dark colours. Other than that another brilliant, moody piece from you. :)
