Suebian Warrior - Seil Miniature Review

[Guy]

SH54065
Suebian Warrior
54mm white metal
Sculpted by Brian Stewart
Painted by Ahn In Soo
14 parts plus stainless rod

Seil brings Brian Stewart to its ranks with a beautiful sculpting of a Suebian Warrior in 54mm scale. Cast in white metal with a stainless rod for the spear shaft.

The kit consists of 14 parts with white metal base (not shown) and a stainless rod for the spear shaft. A brass etched plaque is also provided for the front of a wooden base.

The head is cast separtly and has loads of facial and hair detail.

The torso is cast in 2 sections with the upper left shoulder above the belt line cast separtly. Excellent dryfitting when connecting these two sections.

The photo above on the left shows the front of the left shoulder with the hole for the peg of the left arm. The photo on the right shows the back of the shoulder with an imprint of the shield for location.

Above is another view of the back of the left shoulder.

Above is the right leg with an upper "plate" (not sure of its proper name) that locates up and into the bottom of the torso to ensure an exact fit.

Above is the left leg that attaches to a locater hole in the bottom of the torso.

Above is the front of the shield and the right and left arms. I like that Seil has placed the stainless shaft into the hand. So many figures have to have the hand drilled out for the shaft to fit into the hand.

Above is the brass plaque for the front of a wooden base.

A color guide showing 3 views is also included.

Conclusion:
An excellent 54mm figure cast in white metal with minimal seam lines. Good dry-fitment of all parts. Highly recommended.
