WIP Thracian peltast 75mm

[Venko]

I’m presenting a very nice figure of a Thracian peltast in 75mm, from my friend and sculptor Georgi Stamov (Ryan_bg). Sculpting is excellent, with nice detail on the face, the Pelta shield is particularly well represented, Sica sword is included and two javelins.
Thracians usually wore colorful clothes, with decorations, also on the shields, so the figure will give very nice opportunities for painting.
Very dynamic pose also.
Highly recommended!

Hi there Venko

Nice choice for a project as you say a dynamic piece ....good sculpt so well done to Giorgi ...he should try busts

Happy benchtime

Very nice. I particularly like that the sculpt has captured the body leaning back with a slight twist, as a (javelin) thrower would be, to add all the from the back muscles into the throw.

Nap, I loved the Thracians in Rome Total war, so many times crushing those roman legionnaires in the field

Black and white first

Skin colors and cloth decorations. The tunic color is light pale blue, but I cannot catch it very well with the camera
The greaves are bronze, I mixed Scale75 Trash metal with FW Burnt umber ink.
