A Fixture
The Valkyrie; in Norse mythology, one of the twelve handmaids of Odin who ride their horses over the field of battle and escort the souls of slain heroes to Valhalla....
Seems that there's a few of us doing this terrific figure from Alexandros Models at the moment.
Unfortunately, I don't presently have access to my home PC and these are the only snaps I have available of my example Valkyrie figure on this laptop. These were taken when I was considering using the her in a Conan scenario and none of the figures were actually finished at this stage. (I eventually took her out of there because I reckoned she didn't really "fit" in the Hyborian Age).
This is a rear view of the figure on her own. As can be seen, I need to do something about those welders glove she appears to be wearing so that her left hand begins to actually resemble that belonging to a female. Also considering changing the colour of her shield, (too much red). It's a bit difficult to see in the two diorama photos above - but her face still needs a few glazes applied to get rid of her 5-o'clock shadow and define the cheekbones and jawline a bit better than at present.
It's a wee bit academic at the moment because I won't get back to work on her for another three weeks, but I'll post a few finished photos when I get her completed.
Cheers

) inspired sculpt, and you certainly did it justice. I think the shield might have benefited from a simple motive, like a thunderbolt or such, to break up the space. The darker red certainly improved it massively.
...That takes me back...I had to go dig out my CV to see where I was assigned ten years ago. Turns out I was whooping it up in Chad, Central Africa, way back in 2012.
