Roman officer

Roman officer, just like the Alpine SS Gebirgsjager. Poor photo.

good painting, especially the leather parts, this figure is very beautiful , it's a pity it is not correct for historical reproduction , the helmet is for a centurion or decurion not for an ufficial... but never mind ...however is a great piece and i thing very enjoing to paint.

Poor photo or not it still looks like a well painted figure Carl. The leather has a nice worn look.

Well done Carl. It's a challenging figure and you've done a good job.

Great looking figure Carl!
But beter pictures would do the figure more justice.

Cheers,
Marcel.

Hi Carl

Looks quite good from the photo, maybe you could take some more from different angles, how did you get on with attaching the sword in the end?

[housecarl]

Tommi, I attached the sword as you suggested, thanks. I will have to borrow a better camera.

Very nice Carl!

did you use a flash to take the picture? try to turn it off or cover it up and see how your pics come out then

I don't think there is anything wrong with the helmet, per se. However, if he's supposed to be a centurion, then the crest should be transverse (side to side), not fore-and-aft as here.

However, I doubt that the cuirass would have been made of iron. The Romans seem to have been incapable of working iron sheets that large.
