Thought I'd make a start on this one, I'm not much of a figure painter but I'll give it a go.

If got some paint on this now, two thin coats of black for the base colour on his cape. Also painted his sword, helmet and chain mail, and started the back of his sheild.

Hi and thanks Mick.
It's a 54mm lead figure I got it off Ebay from Hobby-Hata , from the Ukraine. It's listed as
Middle ages- Knight Hospitaller 12th century 54mm Lead figure

Looking good Ian. That chain mail will look great once painted up. Looking forward to seeing what you do with the shield.

Got some more colour on this one,

I think it's time for some Klear, then some shading and weathering.
Please feel free to comment on what I've done wrong or what should be done, as I've not done many figures so any comments will be helpful.

Looks good to me!
Not much to comment...almost by me, you know I’m not a figure painter as well :tears-of-joy::tears-of-joy:, but after some lights on the black dress and some pin wash she will look different.
