Excellent painting. Very amazing detail in the armor and shield. The flesh tones are very convincing, too. Cloth looks right. Great job!

Well done indeed!

Having spent yesterday afternoon painting WH40K figures with my grandson I simply marvel at the quality shown here -- our finished figures are not even close to this level. I know how much work we put in for our modest results, so I can only imagine the effort and time you put in.

Congratulations.

The painting is excellent, but I think the model itself is ahistorical. The helmet is a corinthian helmet, there's a Boeotian shield laying on the ground. Maybe this is "Homer's" Achilles, circa 800 BC, instead of a "real" Mycenaean Achilles, circa 1200 BC.
