[Jamie Stokes]

like the nursery......adorable...

Charon & the gladiator...I'm not sure if it supposed to be the boatman himself, or some one to knock the dying on the head.....

Great paintwork though!

Cheers

Thank you for your messages.

@ Jamie Stokes: Charon is the ferryman of Hades (place of the dead in general, not a place of punishment as then establish the Christian religion. It is to him that the dead man must pay his passage over Acheron, the river between the two transient worlds, on a boat which he directs. bearded old man in appearance, she was not paid no malice in ancient Greece when the Etruscans lent him the bloody nature of a God whose characteristics foreshadow the Christian image of the Devil (pointy ears). A perception that persists in antiquity since Roman gladiators in combat, it is a slave with mask Charon who had completed the gladiators.
To my knowledge, he finished dying gladiators, a sledgehammer blow behind the head.

@ Housecarl: I started by painting the fleece without metallic paints, and the result does not please me:

Samy,
thank you for the information.

great colour work on all your figures, and I now have better understanding of the gladiator scene.
well done

cheers

 

[Ferris]

Excellent work Samy!
That Charon piece gives a special gloomy feeling....knowing what is about to happen.
Please tell who makes these figures. Or are they scratched?

The baby scene is also great: good composition and story.

Great work!

Cheers,
Adrian

Thank you Adrian

These three pieces are pre-prints.

Once they are sold I would note in the news.
