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.

Boots have now been painted, just needs a bit of weathering of the leather on the right boot, and the trousers shading and that sub piece is completed. Had to see how it was looking and i am very happy with it so far.

Also made a start on the head, decided to go with the masked version, seen a few completed examples of this model, but all with open helmets, so go different i thought.

A little progress update. Rider is complete, waiting for some slow set superglue to get his hands and lance/spear attached to the arms. All painting work on him is complete;
