This is my build of the resin figure caricature of a roman soldier. I have no idea where or when I aquired this but it has been hanging around in my stash for years. Hee are acouple of pics.
I think I will name him Biggus Excretia.


All the best.

Kitaholic is not the messiah, he's just a very naughty boy.

All the best.

Why try? What did the Romans ever do for us?

Apart from education, roads, medicine, you mean?

Your Centurion has the look of a New Zealand rugby player doing the Haka!

A quick update on Biggus. I gave him the usual washin mild soapy water and a good rinse. Paint is Extracrylic and Vallejo. The mouth isn't finished yet and thee is more to do on the uniform.

All the best

Looks great mate.

Coming along nicely, although I can't help but wonder what happened to the poor chap to make him look so unhappy. There must be a story there

Nice work so far.

Maybe he's just escaped from Asterix and Obelix.

Not sure about his expression but judging by his bloated guts gas may be the problem. I am calling this finished. Not 100% happy with it but it was a good exercise in figure painting. I may come back to it later but I am not sure.

All the best.

Greg.

Excellent Greg! He certainly looks a tortured soul!
