For "MMM" Pavol Ovecka sculpted two busts (1:9 scale) after the Movie "300"...:

"Leonidas" (Gerard Butler) and "Xerxes"(Rodrigo Santoro) are ready...:





Their likeness is phantastic!



The third one will be "Ephialtes" (Andrew Tiernan) - and Pavol is working on him yet...:





---------------------------------------------

Please excuse this short OT:

For me Pavol is the uncrowned king of portrait-sculptors!

I am very, very glad that he made exclusively for me this phantastic Cossack after the famous painting by Ilya Repin...:





----------------------------------------------------

Even new by "MMM" is this figure...:

Title: OSS Major 1944
Scale: 200 mm
Resin
Modelleur: N. N.
Number: 200/LMF
Price: £60.00





Clear: This is Lee Marvin as "Major John Reisman" in the movie "The Dirty Dozen" from 1957!

300 was a very poorly researched film. The figures, especially Lee Marvin are superbly rendered.

300 movie was made from the Graphic novel ,which the graphic novel loosely based it on the real 300 from history.

A shame because an historically accurate film would have been far more impressive!

That here, obedient to their laws, we lie).

The movie "300" is of course not historical - but a very good film adaptation of the comic!








But what I REALLY like is the parody "Meet The Spartans" (2008)...:

Jareb Dauplaise:






Ken Davitian:





Sean Maguire:


And Carmen Electra:
