A great idea for an even greater realisation!!!
The armor is splendid and the color scheme excellent. The carpet seems very reallistic (as far as you don't think about the "flying" element, of course ;) ).
Congratulations!
By the way, how did you make the carpet? did you painted it free handed? If so, then it is a definitly 10 for me. Otherwise, maybe only a 9
It's acatually a 9.5 ;) since I don't like the foot raised like he is falling. Exept for that the model is just beautifull GREAT JOB here.
An 8.5 is just not enought.
