Roman Aquilifer - Seil Miniature Review

[Guy]

SH54067
Roman Aquilifer w/lion felt
Sculpted by Yury Serevryakov
Painted by Ahn In Soo
54mm white metal
10 parts plus brass etched plaque

Another release last month by Seil is done by the extremely talented sculpter Yury Serevryakov (Russian Knight). Again the attention to detail in this small 54mm scale is awesome to see.

The kit consists of 10 white metal parts plus a brass etched plaque for the finished wood display base. The kit is sandwiched between layers of foam contained in Seil's sturdy heavy cardboard box.

Above you see 3 different views of the upper torso and head which you can also see is loaded with detail. The lower jaw teeth for the lion are cast separately.

Above you see 4 different views of the legs and lower torso.

Above are the front and back view of the right and left arms.

Above is the 2 piece eagle standard cast in white metal. The eagle has awesome feather detail.

Above is the white metal scenic base also loaded with detail by Yury.

Above is the highly detailed sword scabbard.

Above is the ornate etched brass plaque supplied in the kit and wrapped in plastic for protection against scratching.

A color guide above is provided in the kit showing the front and back of the figure.

Conclusion:

An excellent white metal kit with minimal seam lines. Some flashing around the feet / sandals which was easily removed with a knife. Highly recommended. Excellent detail.

I have his big brother in bust 200 mm. This one seems to have more finer details. I can be wrong, it could be the difference in scale.
But it must be a joy to paint it.
Thanks for the revieuw.
