LOL...it looks too bright...the photos...that´s my excuse. No..it looks like the sort of thing that you took on a long drive so the dog could sit on it and later when you had your picknick the sannies would be all hairy!!!
Fantastic job. I used to have loads of these guys - unpainted of course! I remember replacing the chariot wheels with those from the Airfix Napoleonic British Artillery. I think it made them go faster.
Nice looking work. Any attempt at tartan or other cloth designs is worthy of praise in my book. I've never been able to get it right so you've done well.
Nice brushwork, I have a fondness for these lads, my 1st ancients in any scale.
Something to think about when choosing colours for doing tartan. The usual process involves crossing threads of 2 different colours, (leaving aside overstripes which add additonal colours) and looking at a basic pattern, lets say red and black, with red being the big squares. The big squares would be red because both vertical and horizontal threads are red, the small squares at the corner would be black for the same reason while the "lines" would be formed from red and black threads and thus be a murky dark red.
Poor attempt my arse, that's a good attempt at Celtic clobber.

It's lovely to see all these Airfix sets from my childhood getting really serious paint jobs. They are transformed! Well done!
