STRELETS "Normans on the march" (little UPDATE!)

[SamSagace]

Well... I have time, so I was able to paint a complete set!
It was not easy...
I choose to paint all the shields.... results
No matter, if I never try, I never learn!
All advices and critics are welcome!

They look very good.. You are getting an eye for detail now..the studs on the leather surcoat for instance.

They seem not very decisive though...first they march to the right...then they march to the left.

[Zed1]

The detail I like the most is the chainmail-on-the-stick. Has it to dry after a rainshower or what?
These look really nice. But I wouldn't have made the pictures in that way - the red-brown stone in the background gives the whole scenery sort of a strange colour if you know what I mean.

... have a look at the knights: they don't be sure of the direction!!!

... it's a new one! so it is completely clean!!

thanks, Sasha!
You're right about the pictures!!! not a good choice for the background...
... if I'm courageous....

[Konrad]

Very nice work!
Strelets figs are great,if you have a little bit time...

[Peter]

Great work Pascal

So they lost their way? Then they will not reach the battlefield at time

[SamSagace]

Great work Pascal

thanks Peter!

.... oh, it was just a little error from the "General Staff", but the Chief took a decision:
"GO BACK ALL!!!!":



... don't know if they reached the Battle Field...
But that's an other story...

[Tom Russell]

I do like these figures by Strelets, and you have painted them up wonderfully!

thanks!
I like them too! even the "Norman Cavalry on the march" or some standing poses of Normans sets are very nice: I think that I will paint some....

[Peter]

Well I'll be waiting for that other story

[Carlo Antonio]

I agree this Peter !! Great work again

[SamSagace]

I agree this Peter !! Great work again

Thanks my friend!
....we are all waiting for some new histories...

[Bourbaki]

Hey, you increased your skills a lot Sam! This set looks better painted as you did.

... what could I say?
just: and thanks!

But a fact is right: painting is more easy for me, I feel it !
I begun almost one year ago and I had good masters .... and Benno's forum!!

Great work Pascal,

I like the idea of them marching back and forth! Maybe they need some scouts?!

Karl.

Karl.

I think a GPS would be better

[SamSagace]

Thanks Karl!!!
a scout??? why not...
(but someone did a very good one: http://bennosfiguresforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=4968; I'm not sure to be able to make a better one!! )

a GPS ? Peter you're not serious!
I'd made some researches ... and it seems that the Normans didn't use GPS ... ('cause they lived in countries where connection was very bad....)

... no matter, all your ideas give me some ideas for the following!!!

"Normans will come back soon!"
