Wonderful paintwork again Eduardo

These EK Castings figures are probably the best VFM figures on the market with some absolute gems amongst them. Many just ignore them because they are one piece and the bladed weapons sometime need (5 mins work) refinement; a real shame.

Lovely paint result and finish.

A bit of a strange pose in isolation, but what a lovely finish.

I discovered EK only recently but I fully agree with Gary’s comment above. Some lovely pieces in the range.

Thank you Mobo, Gary, Simon , Steve, Malc and Nap. About the pose, it seems he is giving orders, with his right hand. I think.

" Roman Tribune, 2nd century AD. As senior officers tribunes were usually uniformed and equipped more elaborately than centurions. This one is no exception. His unit served on the Danube in te Danube Riverine Flotilla and was armed and equipped for fighting and land.
The hexagonal shield is curious as it was usually used by auxiliaries. The trident, again is undoubtedly a naval symbol and probably a locally added affectation because of long sea service. This officer is wearing his awards over his armour and his excellent helmet is adorned with an elaborate feathered crest so that he will be identifiable to his men at all times afloat or ashore."
