This is not a Reaper mini, but I've been a part of the Reaper Forums Family since I started painting, and I wanted to share my latest with you all!

You can find more photos of Rob Roy at MamaGeekMinis.com.

Wow, Joy, you really knocked it out of the park on this one. Simply stunning, my friend.

Everthing that TS just said. Wow! The plad is truely awesome.

[Bruunwald]

Stunning. Amazing highlights on the kilt. And a real hero, too. Just wondering, were you able to track down Rob Roy's clan's plaid?

[MamaGeek]

Thanks, guys! Especially to Andy for all your support!

And yes, I used the following two reference photos from Wikimedia:

Historical tartan of Clan MacGregor (for freehand on the kilt)

Clan MacGregor plate illustration, 1845 (for clothing colors)

The figure is sculpted to resemble Liam Neeson's film character, but I painted him like the historical person.

Lovely painting, but I really thought Tim Roth was a brilliant villian in the movie!!

10. Great work as always.... Love the tartan, not easy to do and it it highlighted and shaded very well not to mention the freehand. I also really like the black shirt. Very well done.

Finally the skin. Very good use of color.

Well done MG.

Larger scale models can be a bit challenging... Aye, but ye've dunn a fine joob with this one Lassie. A fine joob indeed...

Thanks, all! Your feedback and kind words are much appreciated!

And Stern Kestrelmann, you are right! You would think the larger scale would be easier, but I've been painting 28mm for so long that this one gave me all sorts of unanticipated problems. I'm glad to be finished with him, to tell the truth!

And yes, joshuaslater, Tim Roth was the ultimate villain's villain!

Very nice, well detailed work. The fabric and its face looks fantastic.

[Adrift]

Damn! Beautiful work...as can be expected from you MG. :)

[HardDRollins]

I Love it . Ones again I find myself thinking I need to push myself to do better or give up after the see how grate your work is (as I cannot give up after buying all the stuff I will just have to try harder)

I can’t wait to see what you do next

[Silas Coggeshall]

wow. That's amazing. ;) I love your minis.

[Duliniel]

It all looks great, but that tartan is especially nice!

[MamaGeek]

Thank you all very much! While working on the face and the kilt, I was seriously tempted to throw him through my kitchen window! I'm glad I stuck it out,and I appreciate the kind words.

@HarDRollins: just keep practicing! And share your work and seek critiques. And keep that resolve to push yourself to constantly improve. (And I'm happy I could provide a little inspiration!)
