75mm parthia Catafratari

Spent the last couple of evenings painting his shield, arrow (?) holder and the skirts, added in a few different metal scales. Skirts need the leather painting before attaching to Camilla. Skirt and shield just blue tacked for the moment;

Hi Steve
Love it. The colourful detail painting of the saddle and the shield is stunning. Glad to see this back on the go.

Cheers Jim, dunno what happened - seemed to hit a mental wall of CBA anymore, mind was away in the states, Orlando, for two fantastic weeks, so maybe a bit of holiday blues when i got back home.

That is bloomin' lovely Steve, Looks like it's really nice to paint.

As for post-holiday mojo loss - happens every time to me.

Cheers Peter it is. RP models are superb and with each release get better and better. Only thing with this one is the rider seems on the small side, which is fine on his own, but pairing it with a roman figure from Andrea and also one from Galaxy Models, they look like giants at the moment, so may have to display the camel and rider on their own.

Saw this on RP Models Facebook page ,already have my order in;

Lol yep, will get the 'proper camera' out at the weekend, these are off the camera phone which are good, but not as good as my DSLR :-)

They look great Steve.

I have spent the last few evenings, painting the riders torso. Chain mail was base coated in black followed by Mig's Polished metal, wash of Tamiya black panel liner, removed from the raised details with cotton buds and a highlight of Vallejo Silver, really happy with how it has turned out. Leather work painted with Vallejo leather and highlights with various light wood shades and shadows from the Leather set by AK.
