Hello there,
here is my first work with 1/72 miniatures. I love the great minis from Valdemar!
Hope you like it:







Best regards Thomas

Welcome Thomas. A great start indeed!! Just one tip if I may, if I were you, I would tone down the metal with some lamp black oil paint and then highlight the extreme highlights only. There were no knights in shining armour in the real world, those existed only in past Hollywood movies

Thank you for your feedback. I will try the tip with metal next time. Sounds good.
I paint with acryl.
Regards Thomas

I use silver printer's ink mixed with black oil paint for metals. Then shade with black and highlight with pure printer's ink.

That´s a very nice diorama.....
Welcome to the forum Thomas
The rocks, the white ones next to the bush...are they supposed to look a bit like a skull?
If it´s deliberate...brilliant..if not...it looks great anyway.

@ Paul´s Bods: Good eyes! You´ve got it. Nowone have seen that. Thanks!
@ RayCaruana: The next two minis are still on the table, i think it´s better now - thnaks a lot for your support.
Regards Thomas

Yes, the diorama won gold at the "Miniature Challenge" Show at Düsseldorf.
It´s a pleasure for me to show your miniatures. The next Vignette "The Hunter" will be show at "MBC Camouflage" and "Kulmbach".

Well done again Thomas! It would be nice if we get to see the list of award winning models at FIGZ.
