W.I.P. Legionary of Exculcatores Iuniores Britanniciani 5th C. AD
This is what i've been workin' on as my next project, a beautiful little figure by El Viejo Dragon in 54mm. This guy was part of a garrison force that was left to defend Britain from the Saxon invaders.
I had to change the shield hand 'cos I think it was miscast, and looked to only have three fingers, so with the help of Michael Roberts and El Greco Miniatures I solved this with a resin hand. I cut the other one off, and applied this one.
The white metal base I raided from Seil's 75mm Medieval Knight, of which I made a mould and got my boss to recast another one in its place, prior to usin' it here, hee hee. I then carved out a slot to accommodate a tree stump, and Milliput filled the slot for his foot, basically makin' it a smaller and tighter fit.
