Roman Centurion - Gaul 1 AD
Posted by Anonymous on Wednesday, January 14, 2004 2:08 PM
Hi there,
This was a club thing whereby each member got a basic bust ( head and shoulders ) and had to come up with something different. I decided to convert the bust into a Roman Centurion in Gaul circa 1 A.D. The uniform was made with epoxy putty and the helmet with brass shimstock. The feathers are ostrich feathers trimmed to fit. The face was painted in oils.



I hope it works now.

Sorry Tappie,

got the white box with the red x barbarian. Check the links and give it another shot. I'm dying to see this.

Did I forget to mention that the local apothecary was out of prozac? Just kidding, I agree with you on the insomniac look. It was an attempt to give him a battle weary look. I think Asterix and Obelix had something to do with that. The horse hair once belonged to a blonde Barbie doll that I scrounged from my daughter.
Thanks for the comments.

Well done Tappie,

Im still trying to get the eyes on my figures right.

Might try and post the picture of a roman that I did a few years ago.
Wayne I enjoy getting older, especially when I consider the alternative.

hey Tappie, even without considering this wasn't a complete kit and involved some individual conversion, I think you did an excellent job. Regarding the eyes, not sure if its just an misplaced pixel, but his right iris does seem to be larger than the other. Generally I don't think the eyes here are too big or incorrectly shaped - just the white is too stark. So try a light wash of pink/brown and see if that helps eliminate that little problem.
