Just finished guys . A brilliant sculpture with an awfull casting from Miniature Alliance in 90mm

ZULU Warrior



This is one more comission that was finished .



The casting lines were all over the figure unfortunately. The spear was casted awfully in thin resin and was deformed , so it was swaped with a metal rod . Few other touches with Duro needed to fill small problems .

But it was a joy to paint definately . Painted once with acrylics and then repainted with oils all from the start .

I hope you enjoy it .

As always comments are welcome

Thanks for your time

















and few more ...

sHARpie hi and thanks for posting . I have no problem at 54- 90mm but i mostly prefer 75mm. 90mm is nioce but metal figures are heavy and not so easy to manipulate during paitning., if its resin everything is fine !!!

Hi Costas thanks for the reply. I understand the comment I am working on a 90mm David Greive figure at the moment , you are correct it does get heavy after a while! Keep that inspirational work coming.
