Retiarius Primus Palus - "I live because I am the best!"
Retiarius is a type of Roman gladiator fighting with net, trident and almost no armour (fisherman) usually paired against a heavily armoured but slow Secutor (fish).
I realised that African gladiators are hugely under-represented in the world of miniature, so here is my contribution to the cause.
This is a 200mm bust of an African slave fighter.
Sculpey, wire, Magic sculpt, Green Stuff
I hope you enjoy it.

That is a very nice sculpt. Reminds me of the movie Spartacus.

Very nice bust well done!
Happy painting,
Chris

Superb - would look very good next to the Foxwood Figures Murmillo (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Foxwood-F...es_ModelKits_ModelKits_JN&hash=item3a9b9953b5)

Beautifull bust.

Giant Peter Mensah in his monumental recreation of a Gladiator doctore:




If commercial, it will be a huge gap filled! The fictional Oenomaus is a character with a fantastic modelling appeal!

(I'm saying "fictional" because the real Oenomaus was a gaul. Spartacus series exhibited the character as a slaved African Numidian)


Please ... sell it!!! Just like you said - Numidians are notoriously short in miniature form!

Thank you, friends!
I am pleased with it ( which is a rare occasion in my case )

Mike - "Superb - would look very good next to the Foxwood Figures Murmillo " - How dare you, Sir?? it will only look good next to MY OWN secutor (hint hint). But seriously, I dont think they are a good match.

Of course, its commercial - just needs a little more details worked out as to who where and how
It would be helpfull to know regarding who will be interested so feel free to message me.

Great work, I love the face, full of character

Nice sculpt!

Beautiful sculpture !!!! It should go in the cast !!! I'll take 2 !!!!

Thank you, guys!

Sergei - I will most certainly let you know. Cant wait to try the net on him - I got an idea that may enhance this bust even further

Great sculpting! this I like, the shield is superb
Cheers
