Excellent work Del really does have the air of combat about him

Yeah they rub it on their feet to get a better grip when running away from randy scots italians

Cheers Steve, I'm well on the way with Pegaso's 75mm Secutor and I'm painting him pre-combat as a contrast.
Then it's Commodus with real gold dust in his hair and beard.

Sounds very expensive

No need to run from this one ,still hobbling along with a busted knee.
Went to the hospital today for a pre op check and got a £40.00 fine for not parking in a designated bay ,why me I ask!! considering there were cars parked half on the pavements in their car park ,at least i was on the tarmac

Naw it would be fekin double

LOL

Really nice job you've made of this figure Derek.Look forward to seeing him in the flesh.
Brian

This looks great Derek , you have done a lot of work on him from when I saw it last.


Cheers Davie

Great work Derek. I really like the "feel" you've created, this fellow seems like he means business. I am curious about this pumice as it looks very fine. Do you think it would work as snow, seeing as it takes colour so well, or would it be too course for that?

very fine paintwork

WoW...I can feel the blood and sweat!!

Hi Glenn how's tricks are the girls still dancing?
As I'd mentioned some of the sculpting is a bit 'soft' but it's sharp where it needs to be and where it's not, so long as you paint it as having had a bad day at the office it works out well.
I think it would do quite well as snow but you'd probably have to add a bit of sparkle/flake with something like micro balloons.
As to being too coarse, it grinds very easily and if you scrape it off the block by running a penknife blade in a cutting/slicing motion you get various grain sizes.
What it would make is brilliant slush. laid on PVA white glue then mix some up with the glue and use it as a 'putty' finally when dry use stained gloss varnish to create a muddy puddling effect in say footprints or cart tracks..........I'll give this a try when I get round to the Pegaso Marcomanni.
Take care
Cheers
Derek

I actually cut my thumb whilst basing this and the blood at the front of the base is about 90% real

That's dedication Del lets hope you never do a full version of Isandlwana or you'll pass out from lack of blood
