Advance to the resin
Torso
After sanding away a slight casting line on the rear of the torso (not vital as the area is covered by the hanging cloak ) and a quick dry fit for the limbs there is nothing else to do
Dryfitting showed a really good overall and accurate fit
The torso is flat at the rear with the front being highly detailed which includes chainmail , groin protector, a small bag for money or perhaps a small charm, on the front we have a total of 7 military awards and 2 torcs in Celtic style .....our centurion has certainly see a lot of fighting, casting in all area's is sharp and well defined
The shoulders are formed to take the separate cloak with accuracy
Under his clothing he wears a form of underwear , nice touch in the research



Arm/Legs
Prep consists of sanding away casting plugs from the front upper thighs and carefully removing fine casting lines from the rear of lower legs
On the review items there were tiny black spots ...they are just blemishes in the resin colour not air holes
Both legs have good muscle structure , the left has the knee raised the armoured greave facing forward...these are worked with a scrolling design , perhaps a little over thick IMO in places , held in place around the legs by cording pulling into the calves
The right leg is bent at the knee with the lower leg positioned underneath the thigh , the greave is the same as the left one
On both feet he wears sandals , the strapping detailed nicely , pleased to note the sole has been given the studs which show up well .
For the legs we have 2 excellent fitment points which you will see in the pictures
Fit of the legs is very good once prep completed




There is one separate arm this being his right hand one , prep is just a fine run around the edging of the casting to remove flashing and then fit
The arm is muscular with the hand gripping the sword handle nicely in the process of drawing the sword from the scabbard ...a small amount of the blade is shown , there is a little bit of decoration on the handle and the scabbard with a wrist bracelet being worn
Fit is simple and again accurate


Head/Helmet Crest
Prep will consist of dealing with a uneven rear surface just sanding away the fine casting line that runs at the rear of the helmet, this in itself is a very good shape the edging is very cleanly worked the cheek guards are tight to the head, both these and the helmet show decoration with the guards tied under the chin
The face itself is well sculpted of a shouting man ...mouth wide open exposing teeth and tongue
Fit is again accurate with no major need of a filler
The crest has a small casting post on the top once removed some use of filler will be needed to recreate the textures
Fit is again easy by using the good fitment point in the helmet , matching well to the actual crest support



Small Dagger
This is sculpted still in the scabbard and fits good onto the right hand side , you might need to slightly reduce the fitment post , the scabbard has a couple of area's of designs on it ...careful painting and a optivisor will bring this out
