Excellent work and very nice finish Eric - with the background and the frame.
The painting of the figure is outstanding.

For those who are interested in it, here is a representation of the walls of Jerusalem in the ancient times:

I thought you must have Eric, it looks really good. I've got to have a go at something like that myself.

Yes, Roger, I did
It is from an old drawing showing Jerusalem walls
Painted with oil on paper

Did you paint the background Eric? It looks great.

X2! The metals all seem to be polished as would befit a king. The helmet reflecting blue sky is a nice touch.

[Hannibal]

Excellent painting !!!! white and metal are really fantastic !

[Daniel CANET]

I like it very much; white and metallic parts are very well done Eric

[errant49]

Thank you all
This figure is really pleasant
White is always a challenge
Metallic parts heve been painted on the bare metal with several layers of blue, violet and payne grey
When the figure will be well dry I come back on it for a few details and shadows
I will see how it goes during the drying time

I like it too, the way you have painted the white is excellent Eric.

Excellent work Eric!
I like your 30 mm crusaders figures (can be seen e.g. in the Gallery) but this larger figure may be even better!!
For the hauberk and helmet you used metallic steel/silver with some blue hue didn't you?
Or it is still painted the classic way using grey and white tones?
