Only silver!!! I wonder how the gold looked like!

Great work on both, figure and base, not to metion the heraldry: it looks so 3D!

Very nice work. Comngrats on the silver. Love the heraldry and the design on the tunic,

Excellent work on this one, especially the shield which is simply stunning. Congrats on the Silver, that's a great showing with all the fine competition at that event.

Looks really good. Congrats on the medal. Question for you...I'm working on Verlinden's Black Prince right now. Did you paint the chainmail silver with a black wash or dry brush silver over a black base? The second seems like it would work best, but I haven't been able to get much of a silver look out of it.

Model building isn't about patience, it's about passion.

sk14 - I painted it blackened brown and did layers of silvers over it, then washed it and did more silver for highlights...hope that helps! I do think it gives a better look than doing the silver first. Looks neater I think.
