Hi Hugo

That is absolutely fantastic, look forward to seeing future posts.

Malc

Superb, still not convinced the bird looks right though, but no real reason just a feeling, possibly it's a bit small ?
Steve

Absolutely marvellous.To what scale is it going to be released?

Oda.

Very nice, with superb detailing! Not too keen on the flame idea - singeing the tail feathers? With a slight adjustment he could be wiping oil [blood?] off his sword?

Ian

Ian, nice idea, i think it definitely would look better.

Malc

I agree,good idea with the sword in his hand

Very interesting figure, but the chain mail is of an unusual design.

Hello Mr. Steve...

Thank you for your comment... About the flame... We do some tests before decide to do the flame... Ive a friend that in my opinion did a GREAT job with Goblin... I receive some inputs that told me... "Paint fire its very difficult..." So, what yoiu think... We have to find out a solution... We did a cristal resin piece... and started do washes with orange, red, and so one... and has you know, the fire is something like translucid... And with the washes, you can give life to fire... Its teh some consept of Goblin Bust... To glass aspect its very difficult, but if you have a piece in cristal resin, it will be much easier, and I alreday saw some works... And the final result is AMAZING... And this is the idea that we will use in Harald Hardrada...

About 90mm figure, what you think of the idea?

Thank you Sir...

Hello Mr. Oda...

Tahnk you for your comment and support... It will be a 1/9 Scale Bust and Im thinking in produce the full figure in 90mm... In the begining I have in my mind a 75mm figure... But with all this details, I think we will win in produce a 90mm figure... You will see much better the details, and bring them to life... So, I want to listen your opinion about produce a 90mm figure, if you dont mind, of course...

Thank you Sir.

Hello Mr. Ian

Thank you for your comment... After I saw your comment and receive a few emails and messages to ask us to put a sword in the place of the torch, we STOP to think...

Harald Hardrada was a GREAT HERO... In the Sicily Campaign, he used some methods, that we do an analyse today, and we say... "UUUUUUAAAAAUUUUUUUUUU.... The guy did that?".... When I listen the first stories from Harald Hardrada my mind STOP... I never could imagine, one guy that simulate is own death, entry in the muslim castle, take out the box, and start kill enemies and open teh gates of the castle... This is a Trojan Horse Version, but much after version...

One time, in one siege, he did a mine to send the walls of the castle down... But he puted the sand of the mine inside of the river that passed near by, for no one can see what they are doing...

And my favorite history... He used birds to put fire at the castle... This guy is a truly genious... What a history...

I think we will change, and we will take of the torch and we will put a sword in his hand... We will put a small fire in the bird, and we will give a idea that the bird is flying to castle, to burn the castle, and Harald already have the sword ready to combat... and people just have to do some washes in a small fire point that the bird have in his legs...

About the 90mm sacle, what you think of the idea?

Thank you Sir for your help...
