I got this built and puttied.
There were gaps where the arms fit to his chest, and these needed fillin' with some Milliput, in my view. I then sculpted in the chainmail to make it look consistent.
I also added a link to the chain that runs over his shoulder at the point where it connects to his breast, with some liquid putty.

Gee, Paul... it looks like yer right at about that stage in the build where it wouldn't be too late to turn this one into a figure painting SBS. That is, if you wanted to Whistling [:-^].

By the way- why did you get rid of the part of your animated signature depicting an asswhuppin'? I loved that, I'd catch myself staring at it for hours, days...

You could easily fool me into thinking that lion helmet was a kit piece, looks great, far cooler than the crown anyways!  Whats that you mentioned about the postal strike?  Here in the sates most of our newspapers could care less about foreign events, but disgruntled foreign postal workers interest me more than the how the stock amrket is doin'.

Here is my alternative to usin' the resin crown piece. I used some 1mm solder wire, it was a little tough to bend, but nothin' a suitably sized handle of a paintbrush couldn't deal with. After this I jus' needed to make it conform tightly to the lion head's base, which was slightly oval. The join was then filled with Milliput, and finished.

I'm still awaitin' an order of paint for the shield colours on my Ancient Celt, due to the postal strikes and I suppose this combined with the fact that the stockists may not have had the particular colours in stock to begin with, has made me wait all the more.

Anyway, i've finished cleanin' this one up. This is a Seil Model figure and there are a lot of parts!

The crown is made out of resin, and is not very accurately produced. The nodules are slightly distorted and twisted, so I won't be usin' this part. I have somethin' else in mind. 

This is for a banner.
