Hi Alain!
Very nice! What putty do you use? Is the sword completely made out of putty too?

[Albert G Lopez]

Well done!

[arbogast]

I used principally the Game's workshop's "Greenstuff" and a few of Milliput.
The sword was on the original model... I just had to make a new blade.
The same figure, with white undercoating.

The shield (very slightly lenticular).

Would love to see this painted!

[Robert Vermaat]

Very nice Alain!
Is there a Celt lurking beneath this Late Roman?

[arbogast]

Not a Celt. Or well, in fact it was a kind of Celt as the figure was supposed to be Arthur. But a lot of pieces were missing and some were inaccurate.

[Robert Vermaat]

I knew it. I think it was the moustache... Nice one Alain! Send us more pictures when you start painting it?

[Jeroen Pelgrom]

looks good, can't wait to see it painted

Hi Arbogast,

very nice conversion of the old Kirin miniature, I like especially the fibula and the pteruges, the latter make the model yet more dynamic, IMHO. I am eager to see the painted figure.

Thanks to all of you. I think I'll have to spend some time painting this model... I usually paint 54mm figs or 28mm space marines, quiet different neh?...)
