Just came across these two new figures and head sets from Soldiers SGF.

Cheers

Senatore Romano I sec. AC - II sec. DC
Sculptor: Adriano Laruccia














Romano di Fanteria alla battaglia di Strasburgo 357 DC
Sculptor: Adriano Laruccia

Great new works from the Master Laruccia. I particularly like the Roman Senator.

More stunnining sculpting from Mr Laruccia.

Cheers David

I like the head set. ~Gary

It's not an head set but a choise in the senator box.

Marco

excellent

Well, they should make it one unless you get all four heads with the figure. ~Gary

I believe that you do get all four heads with the senator so that you can individualize your kit. I just thought I had caught up on the Soldier's kits in my Roman collection and now this. When will it ever end? Actually do I ever want it too?

As long as Adriano Laruccia keeps turning them out then I am happy to keep buying them. One of my favorite sculptors, I have all of his works to date.

Where can I preorder it? I checked the soldiers.it site, but could not find anything. Is it 54mm or 70-75mm?

Drop Steve an email through his web site, he will be getting the new figures and will ship worldwide, they are 54mm.

Thanks, Marco

The multi head option on the senator is very nice!

Adriano Laruccia strikes again

Masterpieces all the way.

Superb sculpting. The Roman Senator is my favourite. I'm assuming the 4 different heads come with the kit? If so, that represents tremendous value and ensures you'll never see two figures exactly the same.

The left hand head of the line-up looks like either Marcus Aurelius or Lucius Verus and I think one of the others is Vespasian (the one on the right). One of the middle ones may be Trajan but the light angle is wrong to be certain!

It's a lovely figure (and Laruccia has got the way the toga is tied absolutely correct, including the 'bulla' - the fold of cloth pulled through at waist level). Note, also, that the figure has the correct (and special) pattern of shoe worn by this group. The only thing is I find it difficult to imagine where such a figure would fit into a collection of Roman military subjects. It could be used as a 'prop' with one of the other figures (e.g. the ones of either Hadrian - from Romeo - or Germanicus). Whatever, it's a nice figure.

I see that AL is continuing with the 'late Roman Empire' period with the other figure. This period (4th-6th centuries AD) has been little covered by other manufacturers. As usual, the helmet (a ridge, Berkasovo type) is rendered masterfully.
