OutcastJoel Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 Hello folks. I would love to make a model of an Anglo Saxon king. Ideally it would be based on the helmet found in the Staffordshire Hoard or at Sutton Hoo. I don't really have any preference about scale as long as it is ~50 - 150mm tall. Thank you for helping out a clueless non figure guy. Joel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Knight Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 Historex Agents have what you look for https://historexagents.com/# Type in 'Saxon' in the search Their website is weird and I cannot link directly to some of the figures 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Dave S Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 Historex is a very good retailer. Good luck. It'd be interesting to see what you choose and maybe some pics of the project? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutcastJoel Posted December 30, 2020 Author Share Posted December 30, 2020 Thank you both, I had never head of them before so am really pleased I asked. I have ordered this one: I have never done any figure painting before so I don't expect to do a great job but the figure looks ace. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Knight Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 Andrea figure sculpting is 1st class. Unlike some others their figures have some 'animation' in them. It'll be a new learning experience dealing with a white-metal kit 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Dave S Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 Steady away. Don't hurry it. There are lots of tutorial videos to give advice on techniques. If you are happy, you're doing it right. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
