Completed Critique Roman Miles Legio X, 57-58b.c.

[Tommi]

Hi Folks
This is my latest figure that I have managed to complete. I started it a while back and decided to spend a few days getting it finished off.


The kit is from Alexander Miniatures represents a Miles Legio X, 57-58b.c., 75mm in scale and sculpted by the very talent Yury Serebryakov.


Painted mainly in oils and printers inks with a few acrylic painted parts. Was a pleasure to paint, nice crisp detail and fits together very well.


I did not know what else to do with it, think I covered every aspect of detail in the paint, maybe? So any comments welcome good or bad.


Cheers
Tommi

Excellent art work tommi! Love the face and around foot with great groundwork (last pic)!

Absolutely stellar work--- The bronze coolus helmet and the metal finish of the Lorica Hamata and the Gladius & scabbard is excellent. Also, the tunic color you chose, is actually more authentic than the red tunics, which seem to be the fad--But that is my personal opinion

Many thanks for your kind words guys. The photos look a bit strange and grainy, never quite got the hang of taking photos of figures, they always tend to look different to the naked eye.

Cheers

Eduardo, the dried bush is made from roots from an old dead plant that I pulled from the garden and allowed to dry in the sun. I then done some acrylic washes in shades of green and brown and dry brushed with light flesh and white,

Hope this helps
Cheers
