The first rule of Viking helmets is: there are no horns on Viking helmets.
The second rule of Viking helmets is… there are NO HORNS on Viking helmets!

Thanks Tim, that was enlightening...so I should discount the wings too. :smiling2:

[Steve Brodie]

discount the wings as well, the danes were the ones adorned their helmets, vikings never did.

Nope, but I would do another one, maybe a black armour version, have tried to play with the reds so it’s not just a blob of a single colour lol

As Maria sings quite eloquently in the sound of music ‘let’s start at the very beginning’ lol , it’s quite an easy piece to put together if you think logically

 

[Tim Marlow]

Looking very fine Steve. Great job putting interest into the red colour scheme, which is not the easiest colour to use well.

 

[rtfoe]

Looking good Steve, Japanese Samurai armour is really intricate and no way you can color by numbers. Reds are nice.

Look very fine Steve. Certainly a stunning subject for a painter to work on.
