Norman Knight First Crusade

OK, I know this is a different kind of armor! I'm pretty hooked on figures now, and this is my attempt to broaden my skills in two ways:

1) The figure will be painted as much as possible in water mixable oils. These are relatively new tools, and I figure this way I'll have to get used to them!

2) I need to work on painting mail and metal, and this is a pretty general skill, although most suited to medieval and ancient figures.

The figure was sculpted by Mike Blank. And is kit 54.12 in the Elite line. The knight/man at arms is posed cleaning "something" off his sword with a rag. The pose is natural, and the scuplting quite nice. Some of the facial detail and the hands are a little crude compared to other figures I've got.

Pics of the first stages of painting will follow soon.
