Slavic Warrior VII century AD by king derelict - FINISHED - Pegaso Models - 75mm

[king derelict]

The last of the batch of figures. Nicely sculpted by Pegaso and a lot of latitude regarding choice of colors.

As seems to happen, I picked up the brush and before I knew it I was well into the painting and hadn’t taken any photos. There is a lot of texture to play with on this one, fur, beard, metal and leather. 

His cloak is heavy fur with the skin outside. I used ivory paint and blended cork brown into it before it dried. It looks a bit rubbish at the top but that will be covered by his shield. The fleece on his chest was done the same way.

 I polished the metal of the helmet, used Tamiya clear orange for the gold bits and a diluted black wash to bring out the detail in the helmet. 

I’m working on the details and the face. I didn’t like the eyebrows so they have gone and I will try again although I think the helmets nosepiece will cover it anyway.

Thanks for looking in.

Great start Alan.  You've painted up a nice variety of figures - these Pegaso figures are pretty cool.

Thank you very much Mike. Pegaso have some great subjects and their sculpting is very good. 
The cost of shipping them from Europe is a bit uncomfortable.

Yep, the little display case is getting crowded. I just hope there is no pushing and shoving in there. There’s some prickly characters that are carrying weapons.

Moving along with the details. I added the trim to his tunic. I painted flat orange as a base and the gold over the top, it seems to look more like gold cloth that way.

i finished the facial details, eyebrows and eyes and then fitted the nose guard. As I suspected the eyes are pretty much obscured. I had a bit of a surprise painting the gold decoration on the guard. Shaking the bottle of clear orange I found I hand a hand coated in clear orange. The plastic cap had cracked. I was able to rescue some paint but I think I’ll have to order another bottle. I have the Mig AMMO clear orange but it is a much thinner color and doesn’t look like gold.

i added the plume to the helmet. I’m using ca glue this time for the small parts. So far so good and it’s easier to make sure the piece stays in place while it dries.

The base is rather nice on this one. Note the petroglyph on the rock. I think that’s rather nice.

Thanks for looking in, the likes and kind comments.

I think this warrior is finished. I painted an earth brown onto the base, added light grey for tge rocks and stones. On the large rock I used a diluted light grey on the black primer and then rubbed it back with a cotton bud. The petroglyph was given a diluted black wash. I added Woodland Scenics grass to complete the base. It was easier to do before adding the remaining parts and having to work around them. The sword, shield, axe and his hand and spear were all added. I continued to use the ca glue and it worked great. The faster setting time really made it easier so this may be the way forward. This was a very relaxing subject and I think I will try some more Pegaso figures amongst the Art Girona ones.

Thanks for looking in, for the likes and the great comments.

Time to return to the ships, not sure what though yet. A diorama is attractive.
