Repainting Elendil

So I recently started repainting my Elendil, deciding I could do better then he was, so here he is so far :

I'm thinking do the skin a bit lighter, and some highlights.

I'd give him a thorough rebase...some washes on the armour and cloth and then pick out the detail with highlights.

What I did with Elendil (and looks spectacular I think) is to trim his shoulder paldrons and vambraces with gold.

He does look very good already just my two cents

I'd have to agree with JamesR, I've done that with my Fountain Court Guard and it may be a small thing but it makes a really big difference

Thanks, just done the suggested trim on the armour, so will take pics of that in a bit possibly, should I try and do highlights on his cloak before or after the likes of washes and inks? I use army painter quickshade applied with a brush.

Here is the latest progress on hims, am quite happy with him so it's really inks, washes and possibly highlighting I need to do now.

Well he now has the quickshade on him, trying to decide which ink would be better for the armour, sepia or a blue?

Will be doing a few matt coats.

He looks quite good. That trim-job looks especially great

Pretty much finished I think, starting work on some men of Arnor and wolfsbane.
