That nmm is coming up a treat! I think you need one more highlight on the edges and it\'ll be perfect.
I don\'t know what else to comment on as it is still WIP and I am not sure which parts are finished but it is coming along great!
:beer:
For the scales....that sounds a cool idea to me! But they look to far apart atm and they should be smaller and more blocky if you know what i mean.... take a look here:

Look on the banner - they are more defined than yours at the moment and have sharper highlights. It would improve the piece a lot if you do this (that is if you want the scales. Btw I would go with personal opinion if I were you

)
There is a slight smudge on the imperial eagle on his butt, didn\'t know whether you knew that or not but thought I\'d better point it out...
With the skull and crossbones on the shoulder pad - are you planning nmm or bone with that?
Anyway, keep working on it, it\'s looking great so far!
Cheers,
Tom
