Nice work!
I backup Nicholas: a bit more shadowing would be even better!

That’s very nice clean painting

to improve it further it needs more of a 3D effect, so additional shading and highlight. Your light source can be either upper left or upper right. Look through the gallery and you can see what I mean. I will take a photo from Mike Taylor’s book which illustrates the effect perfectly and post it here for you. In the meantime a great start.

Hello all, this is my first post here but I have been enjoying reading through all the posts on the forum.

I've been painting 28mm round wargames figures for some years now. On a recent holiday to Vienna I was persuaded by the lovely owner of Zinnfiguren Bohm to buy some flats..

So here is my first effort. In acrylics- so please feel free to advise on how to improve ! Thank you !
