Very nice variation on the early Empire Roman theme.

Don't know whether or not the embossed wording on the front of the thing is "historically accurate", but it looks the part and would not be a deal-breaker for me if it's "artistic license" at play there.

Hello! Martin hurried to announce our newcomer. We made a release in Russia, but for several reasons we wanted to release outside of Russia later. I want to ask everyone to wait for the official release of this kit with reliable information. Unfortunately, Martin, not knowing some things, made mistakes, which led you astray. Once again, on behalf of HIMINI, I ask you to wait for the official information on our new product!

We are pleased to announce that this Scorpio kit is now in stock after battling long delays (from 23rd March) to get to the UK!!

Romans are tough, they can take it I hope he had help carrying all that.

They had issue with him carrying those arrows on the flight, hence the delay.....

nice shame not 54mm, so many nice figures are made as 54mm when the bulk of collectors collect 54 to 60mm, do not understand why not

... and if it were 54mm, we'd have guys coming on saying "shame it's not 75mm".

Let's just be happy that we have so many fantastic pieces available to us no matter what the scale. You can't please everyone all of the time.

We've been here before, haven't we? Many modellers/painters enjoy a variety of scales. Some, whose advancing years and failing eyesight preclude them painting smaller figures , are still able to participate in their passion simply because sculptors and producers recognise that larger scales can fill the void. Long may it continue.

Always good to see a HIMINI release and this is no exception no matter what scale

It's a interesting subject as well with the weapon having some great details on it

I take my hat off and say THANK YOU to ALL companies during the current situation , they are working so hard to release ..delays are inevitable ...but worth waiting for as here

Hope we see some more busts as well !

Stay safe everyone
