there it is...

something new from me, still no Robin though, sorry!

I painted this model for Bytom 2012 show, I thought it would be weird to go there without any historical model
it's Roman Cavalry Officer from Latorre Models, 54mm scale. based on a character from Gladiator film, so I call him Spanyard instead.
new company for my showcase, historical genre, bigger scale - I still follow my plans (new manufacturers, variety) for 2012!

better tell them all about your success at the show

What are you hidding?

It looks very nameless your style is very distinct, it looks very cool even do for me the pictures are dark

not much, I got medal in the Busts category with the new dwarf had few more entries (Spanyard and few of my fantasy minis), and I was sure of one thing only - my bust did not deserve the prize as there were much better paintjobs on busts. My other enties could get a prize or not, I wouldn't be horribly surprised with any outcome. As it turned out, the bust drew attention of the judges better than all other things I took there

Gratz on gold

You have soem awesoem looking minitures here they look very realistic which brand of paints do you use and how do you paint the skin?

@Khaine - Reaper Master Series paints mainly, I have some GW paints too. few flesh tones were used here, some reds, browns, orange, violet, black and white too

@Hellspawm - technically, it wasn't gold Bytom show is more an exhibition than a competition, judges select up to 3 works in a category which get the award (medal, honourable mention - call it as you will). no 1-2-3 place

Well, technically even if it's not "gold" or 1-2-3 spots, it's just really nice to have been picked up

Cool, congrats
