As you know I do not like painitng miniatures for one certain angle of view. But I wanted to make this one as a kind of experiment on reflections in metal. And when I had a spherical helmet... Well, I could twist those reflections to look good only from the front view. So I placed the shield in front of the model. Plus to make the metal look shiny enough I had to paint all other parts darker and less saturated. Can't say I love the result much, it was kind of quick work and it was easier to finish it as it is than to repaint some parts. But still I want to share it with you. And anyway I have learnt a lot. Next time I am sure I could make it much better.
Thank you!
