i like the two celts because they show the classic late tene era look and not the celts of say halstatt time frame
here experts still quarell if this halstatt cultur my be called celtic at all.
neverless my favorite is the 75mm celt with head trophy.
cheers

I really like the celt (with the exception of his left foot), but I have to seriously question the practicality of the scabbard hanging between the legs in the front like that. Seems like it would drag and constantly be in the way, and if he were to run it would beat the hell out his "junk."

Wow! Awsomeness from the Iberian Peninsula

Excellent work, and thanks for sharing Pedro!

well
the sword hands on the typic La Tene sword chain.lets say the scabbard did swing on it and did fall in this position.
even if the sword chains where made so that the sword was held firmly on the position on hips.
neverless it does not spoil this figure
for me the best celt so far.nothing over pompous with weird horned helmet or bronce cuirass.simply attired and good reserached
i will get me one when its released

Even though the Celtic headhunter is given a 3rd century B.C. date he's much better assigned to the middle of the 1st century B.C.

His sword and scabbard appear to be insular (i.e. British) La Tene IV types. The best known examples of this type come from Embleton, Cumbria (around 50 B.C.); Cotterdale, Yorkshire; and Mortonhall, near Edinburgh (both 1st century A.D.). The Embleton sword and scabbard were nicely illustrated on pp. 58 of Peter Connolly's "Hannibal and the enemies of Rome", Macdonald Educational Ltd, 1978:

11 = sword, 11a = front of scabbard 11b = rear of scabbard (the figure is wearing it back to front, in other words, not just entangled in his nadgers).

Around 50 B.C. British tribesmen were famously fighting Julius Caesar (as well as each other, of course).

I agree with "pinsel" that it's a nice figure and a refreshing change from all the fanciful "chieftain" figures. This doesn't apply to the Vercingetorix here. I really like this one too (although I'd probably paint him up as Cassivellaunus, but then that's just me).
