Spartan Warrior, 480BC - Athens Miniature Review

[Guy]

Athens Miniatures
AM54-11
Spartan Warrior, 480 BC
54mm white metal
Sculpted by Babis Stathis
11 parts

This is a beautiful white metal figure sculpted by the talented hands of Babis Stathis, for Athens Miniatures.

The kit comes in a sturdy green cardboard box with the parts sandwiched between layers of foam. The small parts are kept in a sealed baggie to ensure against loss during shipping.

Above you see the head with helmet and the separate cast crest below the head and helmet. Dry-fitting of the crest to the helmet was perfect.

Above you see the main torso with little if any seam lines.

Above you see the four views of the cape which attaches to the back of the figure.

Above you see both front and back of the right arm and hand. The left arm and hand are attached to the back of the shield.

Above you see the front and back of the shield showing the front shield edge design scribed into the shield edge. Also you can see the attention to detail Babis has given the inside of the shield.

Above left you see the sword blade and sheath along with the accessories. On the right is the textured base that can be used with the figure.

Above you see the color guide and historical note with the below attached photo for color reference.

Conclusion:

An excellent 54mm figure with minimal, if any clean up needed. Highly recommended!!!
