Looking good, if a little European in flesh tones...

Nice stuff.

Nicely done, looking forward to seeing the rest!

I'll go back to the flesh once there all done, still finding it a bit tricky to get the highlights to show up on 10mm in any other flesh tone.

Will look at trying a couple of light brown washes to darken them down.

Thanks for the feed back

Iranian flesh tones are pretty much the same as Caucasian. They're not Arabs, remember (and tend to get annoyed if you confuse the two, as do Turks taken for Arabs, Canadians for Americans, Celtic provincials for English, and real wargamers for Warhammer players).

But they do have great tans, unlike us pasty Brits!

You've inspired me to try and get on with mine. Mike's Late Romans are thirsting to get at them.

Great observation. Withering, but great.
