W.I.P. Seil Models 54mm Roman Centurion

Thanks.

Jus' got a few more things done on him. I'm quite surprised to see how quickly this figure can be painted, they're are not that many different elements on him to be painted, but he's bristlin' with detail.

Thanks, guys.

It's a fact that Seil is no longer producin' anymore figures, they're out of business now. It'll take awhile before the stocks will dwindle away in the stores I suppose, after that they'll be no more. And i've heard that they're not gonna' be sellin' any of the 'masters' off, somethin' that I find a little odd.

I have the flesh painted in now, but i've forgot to paint his 'rod of command', or whatever its called.

I had a Rod of Commanding once in AD&D, oh the memories of my roleplayin' years durin' my youth hahaha.

The cloak will be weathered or dusted down at the very bottom of it, with some pigments after i've chosen the colour for the groundwork.

Well, the good news is the sculptors have gotten together to continue their work. Planet Figure and Armorama announcements and comments. Even better, IMHO, it looks like they will be working in resin so rearing horses will no longer collapse under their own weight! And resin tends to be less espensive!

BTW, your usual nice work on the Roman.

Astounding. I hope you don't get too tired of figure painting... your stuff always inspires me to turn the computer off and work.

Thanks, Steve.

I got some Milliput layed down and textured it with a toothbrush in preparation for some stone effect paste. Basically this will be a forest floor with some leaf and branch litter, i'm also gonna' add a barbarian's shield in the foreground, courtesy of PegasObjects shield set.

Here i've jus' given everythin' a lick of paint to see how it all ties in. Next up some wood, grass and leaf litter, and i'll be gettin' very 'anal' about where it all goes and how it all looks, if you know what I mean.
