The model I was pleased to take to to Fen Model Show (https://fenmodelshow.co.uk/) this weekend. I received a Silver in Standard at Fen for this.
It's a sculpt from the talented Romain Van Den Bogaert (www.instagram.com/romainvdb1) and I've only seen two other versions to-date; Ben Komets (https://www.instagram.com/p/CH-WskZniko/?img_index=1) and Roman Gruba (https://www.instagram.com/p/CSEXHWotGjs/?img_index=1) so ... no pressure, hey?
I've used a more harmonious colour palette than usual, and definitely benfeitted from more thinking prior to painting. It's Kimera Magenta and Pthalo Blue at the base, then Caribbean Blue, Ice Blue and Greenish White for most of the remainder. The only outlier is a Dark Vermillion on the headdress fabric and hair to offer something a little different.
There's a hundred things I could improve, and the judges found every single one but that's a problem for Future Dave to address before it goes to SMC (https://www.scalemodelchallenge.com/) later this year. It was a real experimentation on getting better at texture, contrast and I'm genuinely pleased with the comments from fellow painters and judges on this.
