Viking Warrior 70mm - Elite Miniatures review

[Guy]

BS/70-26
Viking Warrior, 9th - 10th Century AD
Sculpted by Young B. Song
Painted by Jose Hernandez
70mm white metal
10 parts

When I first saw this here on planetfigure I knew it was a "must have" and ordered one as soon as it became available. An excellent kit cast in white metal with 10 parts comprising the kit.

The head is cast to the torso leaving the arms separte along with hands and weapons, The Shield covers the attachment of the rear cape extension. Slight clean up is required at the waist to attach the legs.

Above you see the different views of the upper torso.

Above is the leg section that fastens to the upper torso with no filling required.

Above is the cape section that fastens to the back and then is covered by the shield.

Above are the separte cast arms which dry-fit snuggly into their sockets.

Above are the gloved hands / arms holding weapons.

Above is the base, sword and nose guard that attaches to the front of the helmet.

Above we see both sides of the shield.

Finished Box art by Jose Hernandez:

Conclusion:
An excellent figure of a young Viking with minimal seam lines and preparation needed. Highly recommended.
