                        Hi All,

                        I was over at the GreatModels website today, and noticed the figures above.  I thinking of doing my first figure, and I would go for something Roman or Medieval.  How would the above figures be for a first figure from one of the these two historical periods?

                        Thanks,

                        Rick

                        I've seen these built up here. You will be dealing with a regular multi-piece plastic model with legs and arms in two parts. That means a lot of careful filling and sanding, you can't pretend a seam line is a panel line on flesh and they are too straight to be veins.

                        Remember, if the women don't find you handsome, they should at least find you handy.

                        I think they are good figures at affordable prices. I'd prefer Roman period. Here's a few samples built by "Art Instructor" and his brother:
