Italeri Gladiators and Lion , 1:32 54mm

       Hello everyone, for today's post I have a subject from Roman period, never opened before in my blog. Two very nice sculpts of Gladiators and a male Lion from Italeri in 54mm scale.

      The shields are from not the original  figures but conversions made from other cheap miniatures.
Also one of the hands of one of the Gladiators. They come to me as a commission painting so I don't know why that happened...In one of the shields the hand of the other miniature is still there ..(!!)
      I did my best for a nice high standard and I really enjoy painting them. Though I wanted to give some more layering on them I should stay low to keep the price down . I couldn't do that to the Lion figure witch I like very much , so I went one step forward ..:)
      No grass tufts or other vegetation on the bases because they are on a gladiator arena!

 

That's all for now. Thanks for watching and I hope you enjoy or get inspired!

'Till next time....

Keep Up The Brushes!

Timpo 1:32 plastic "Bear"

   Hi there!
     Trying to catch up February with another post , I've finished yesterday this lovely(?) bear!
Dating back to the 60's, this little bear comes to me along with some other toy soldiers and I get the inspiration to paint ,from an older post of a friend blogger-gamer (I thing it was from Palouse Wargaming Journal ) who had a wild bear in his gaming set up!

  The figure came with some wear on the body and a broken base but, with a little care and a sharp knife becomes ready to paint! For extra basing space I made a base extension using a round plastic cup.

   Here you can see what I started with....

     And here some pictures during the restoration... 

         

And here you can see the final result in some clear and some artistic pictures..

That's all for now...Hope you like my first posted animal figure! I have painted some more

,(mostly horses) in the past and maybe I'll make a post for them in the future..

'Till next time... Keep Up The Brushes!!!
