Thanks, Guy.

I've started on the base. The base itself is made out of Yew, and has some real nice grain to it. Other than that i'm keepin' this one simple, I want the eye drawn straight to the figure and his shield, and not the base really.

But I can happily say that viewin' this figure with the naked eye, I am very happy with my results so far.

I don't understand... this, as with all of your figures, armor, cars, etc, are completely devoid of fault in my opinion. With every fold that I shade, I hear my inner mantra: "what would Paul do?" Not to be an a$$kisser- I just see your painting as flawless. This piece is stunning.

I'd love to see a full on dio from you some day. If you have shots of any, please forward them on.

Thanks Steve, your too kind. I have this finished now, i'm jus' havin' to dirty up the shield a little, and then its finished. Its somethin' that is quite hard to do, when you've put a lot of work into the image, only then to dirty it up.
