I liked the quality of this when I first saw it.
My only observation is that he\'s very clean.

wasn\'t this at the world expo?

a very nice piece. the only gripe i have is the tear on his leg. the fabric seems to be lighter than the skin that is exposed

thanks guys for comment...
yes,it\'s exposed at world expo...

@dragonsearch : i know that it\'s very clean but i\'m working for improve my realism... thank you for really good comment

I remember seeing this at the expo. It\'s a nice looking piece and great work for being your first venture into historicals. I agree with Dragonsreach on the cleanliness. Also, the skin coul use a bit more variations in colour being of this size. Perhaps some hair as well? Anyway, a very good first step.

I think its a fantastic paintjob- simply stunning.

I saw this the other day, the painting is very good overall (9+) although I don\'t like the model itself that much. I don\'t have an issue with him being very clean

One aspect of realism is historical accuracy. Sorry to say, that shield design - beautifully done though it is - is more a fantasy element than anything and really brings the figure down IMO if it\'s intended to a historical subject.
But then the sculpt itself isn\'t great in that respect so...

It was his birthday so he had his yearly bath and got new clothes and shield.

Very good paintjob

So he was out on the \"Pull\" then?
That explain a lot. lol

I see what you are saying Einion about the \"fantasy\" theme on the shield, it does looks a little more Scoti-Erin Gaelic/Celtic theme than I tend to think of as what a Germanic warrior would have. But it\'s not something I have done any reaearch on.
