That Ruina kid sure can paint! Love this bust.

 

[Edward]

I like it. Reminds me of Gerard Depardieu a bit.

Gerard

Agreed

 

[Figurenfreund66]

I do not know if this discussion makes much sense, some editor is unteachable

Cheers

Yep it's a 'toughed' up version of Gérard Depardieu's Obelix. The wee bum on the end of the nose is the giveaway
Pretty good fun though and great paint job, historical accuracy aside.
Cheers

Too much EVD Pedro.
Nicely done, does nothing for me though.

I used sometimes this kind of verbal sedatives to wash the tongue of some jokers. No offense intended.

 

[bagelman1952]

Very nice indeed

 

[Edorta]

I agree with you all about the facial resemblance and the historical acuracy of the helmet.
Anyway it´s a great sculpt and the painting work of Diego is top level for me. It´s a good bust to paint.

This is nicely sculpted, with loads of skilfully-done detail. Although it's much easier to pull off at 1/9 it's still good to see a shield that's nearly scale thickness rather than the tabletops we see too frequently. Some of the anatomy bothers me (the neck in particular, couple of problems there) but overall I think it makes a good bust... accuracy aside.

I'd give my eye teeth to see the references used. Steel horns, really?

This is a brilliant example of something that's had to be said many far too many times before - about how little additional effort it would have taken to make a much better representation of the supposed subject.
