Hello all,
2 quick Phone pics of the nearly finished base for Pegaso's 'Decurio Equites Legionis' in 75 mm.
Since I read that research has shown that Romans as well as the Greeks painted almost everything (including statues) I couldn't resist having a go at the pillar that is supplied with the kit for the figure to lean on.
So next time you visit a Roman archeological site try to forget the white and grey you see before you.
When the structures whose remnants you are visiting you were build 2000 years ago, they were painted in all colours of the Rainbow
Just imagine what a Roman city must have looked like colourwise!
Some pictures of the figure in progress. Have to say this figure gave me a lot of trouble. Probably because I had an old cast. As you can see from the pics I resculpted detail on the helmet (padding/embossing) and gave him a pair of trousers. The lorica squamata was a nightmare. Rough pebbled surface. I ended up buying a second figure which was marginally better cast.
Anyway: pics of the head that is almost finished and the main body. If you click on 'show in original' you get the pics the right way up and you can blow them up. Cheers Paul
