Re the Miniart Gladiator - the finished example they're using on the website looks great, but in reality the kit is very poor. The modelling is very perfunctory, like it's been a rush job - folds in the cloth just the odd nick, no strapping on the arm-guard, no soles to the feet etc. etc.. It's clear that the website model has had a lot of work done on it to bring it up to standard, and anyone tackling this would have to do the same. It can be built and finished as it is, but mine went strait in the bin.
