spruecutter Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 Every now and again, I like to paint a figure as a break from aircraft modelling. ICM's recent release of a Roman Centurion caught my eye. There is something about the combination of colours that is very appealing. It is a very nice kit to work on - sharply moulded with crisp detailing. I used Alclad for the metalwork, Mr.Color C18 for the basic flesh tone and Games Workshop acrylics for the rest including the gold tassles. The one thing missing from the kit is a decal for the decoration on the shield. I wanted to say a big thank you to @cmatthewbacon for sending me the artwork which I printed out on white decal paper. That worked a treat. The base is MDF that I coloured with teak effect woodstain to make it look like a more expensive piece of real wood. I very much enjoyed working on this figure and will definitely look to do another one at some point this year. Cheers Richard C 19 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmatthewbacon Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 He looks great... lovely painting. I think it’s a very characterful sculpt, though nothing at all like the bruiser on the box art! Excellent work... best, M. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radio Ga-ga Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 Great figure, but it puzzles me as to why he has his sword in his hand as well as one in a sheath! When I made mine, I made a vine cane for his right hand which gave it a more interesting pose, especially when modeller alongside the other kits in the same catalogue.

It's a dagger in the sheath on his right hip, his sword scabbard is empty on the left. That's a nicely painted figure Spruecutter. I like the reflections in the eyes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
