Byzantian Warrior, 10th Century AD
75mm Resin
Sculpted by Sergey Menelaj
7 parts

Photo 1.jpg

This is a review on Imperium's 75mm range of figures and is of a Byzantian Warrior from the 10th century AD. Cast is 7 parts gray resin with the only clean-up needed is to remove the mold blocks.

Above is the main torso of the figure with the head sculpted to the body. I think you can see in the photos the attention to detail the sculptor has given us.

Above left is a close-up of the upper torso and head. The right photo shows the amazing detail from the waist down to the mold block under his feet.

Above is the sword still attached to the mold block. Again the attention to detail is great.

A small resin base is supplied with the figure.

Above is the actual box facing giving the color photo as a painting reference. The bottom photo is the master sculpting.

Conclusion:
I find this to be an exceptionally sculpted figure loaded with detail with minimal clean-up required. Highly recommended.

Special Note:
I received an email this morning from Imperium and they stated they are looking for a US distributor. I gave them a couple of recommendations so I hope we will see these available in the US soon.
