Hello again, this is one I painted for a miniature exchange with Deucalion S - what an honour it is for me to exchange minis with such an amazing painter! Although the model itself is meant to be a statue, I decided to follow tortoise's lead and paint it as a real royal guard, and incorporate the plinth into the base. The painting was a bit of an experiment - firstly, I used white undercoat whereas I normally use black; and second, this was the first time I had tried large areas of NMM gold.

There are pics and a short write-up wth colours used etc. on my site, if you are interested, here: http://guildofharmony.com/royalguard.php

man o man, you just won't stop, will you? . Another day, another near perfect model. However, I will stand to be the critic again and say that the gold appears a little flat when compared to the rest of the model and doesn't really have a real gold tint, it looks more like flat 'gold' plastic. I think this might be something to do with the deepest colour being a little off or it could be something to do with the lighting, but it doesn't look 'gold' to me. Still, you've got the technique down-pat and it's sure as hell better than anything I could do. It really deserves ten, but that colour just niggles me
