That's one of the best work of gold NMM I've ever seen! It just jumps out to you with the gleam of it. This deserves to be an 8 at least. But the plume oh his helmet could use a bit of shading.
I really like this. That mustard colour scheme works well. I would have given more but, IMO the plume needs a touch more shading and the sides of the base let it down. Great job though!
