Estalian Mercenary, need some feedback

[White Gobbo]

Just finished this after several weeks of nitpicking at various aspects, how\'s it look?
I have alot to workon I know but I\'m still learning!
is it Estalian looking to anyone else?
I think I captured the image

Ok this is going to sound really harsh, but it\'s not meant to be.

I\'m sorry to say it doesn\'t yell Estalian to me.
It still looks like a Knight Templar of the 2nd or 3rd Crusades.
Several things strike me,
It\'s in the traditional K.T colours scheme,
You\'re not showing all the figure,
The picture is not the greatest lit so I think were missing the better part of the work you\'ve done on it,
The sheild is on backwards and stands out like a sore thumb. The indented circle is designed to go on the lump on the figures arm.

Not harsh at all actually, I appreciate the reply,
yea it was origionally meant to be
A knight\'s templar in Araby
but I don\'t know why I changed it
I ordered an Estalian of ebay
it\'s from the late 80\'s and I\'m currently painting it
I will reverse the shield per instructions! or maybe just fill the hole? hmm
but thank you for the advice
I appreciate it

You know you could get some decals and cover the hole in the shield. That way you will not chip the paint. Just a thought.
