    Dear Planeteers,
    This lovely bust by HIMINI Miniatures comes with an insane number of (very tiny) parts. The cast however is lovely and the quality superb. It is on the more expensive side but it’s worth every penny. This is gold standard.
    There is a very similar figure on the market from Medieval Forge Miniatures, but I prefer this one. I took a little risk with his skin tones but I am very happy how they turned out. Hope you like it.
    Happy painting!
    Sven

    Excellent work Sven. I like the flesh tones you have achieved, and the various metal bits are quality. You can see why they were nicknamed "mules of Marius"!

    Beautifully painted. Good to see a Coolus helmet rather than the usually modelled Imperial Gallic, although Imperial Italic helmets are also starting to appear.

    Hi there Sven

    Catching up a bit...that's a really nicely painted piece , like your metallics and the skin tones , good 5 o'clock shadow ....you've achieved a veteran soldier look ...loaded up with equipt

    All credit to HIMINI ...you obviously enjoyed the piece

    Always good to see your artwork

    Why not enter something in the class of your choice in FOTM , don't forget we also have the Vignette & Diorama comp , please take the time to consider and also do vote as well

    Thanks for sharing

    Look forward to the next thread
