Gift Quar

I painted this small scene for a Friend for Christmas, he had liked the lone daisy in the short Quar film so I incorporated it into this scene. "One last glance"
My Quar is about to go, with his men over the top. Taking time to have one last glance at his bride in a photo frame he prepares to blow the brass whistle in his other hand and then Over the top they go...who knows if they will return.
The scene itself is made from Coffee stirrers,pumice jell, and realistic water and duckboards from (Secret Weapons) trench kit. the daisy was modeled from green stuff and the whistle was carved out of the cigar he was holding. The whole Diorama fits into a dry snow globe which made it a nice little display.

and more

Three from Reaper
A Gladiator, Maxiums hero of the arena,and their new pit fighter figure with a head swap

And More...

The Noxi a Prisoner sentenced to the arena for some crime or another armed with a short sword and buckler. West wind gladiator figure.
Normally would not have stood much of a chance but his odd's have gone up slightly due to the fact that he is pitted against an Andabata Gladiator who fought blind. Bronze age gladiator figure with a head swaped and replaced with some putty sculpted into an Andabata helmet. The helmet has a few air holes at the bottom but nothing for the eyes...still he is skilled an armed better that the unarmored Noxi


Marco...polo... Who will be victor?
Two of the same Secutor gladiators from bronze age with head swaps with heads from the others in the set. The high plume was made from putty. I really like the set from bronze age miniature they are nicely sculpted and animated.

My last two are slaves on auction, one displaying herself for the buyers and the other in ragged cloths and chains waiting her turn. What will happen to them are they to be household slaves or be sent to train as galdiatrixes?
Both figures are Bronze age miniature generic female figures and sculpting putty


Apologies for the photos.

More gladiators and WIP

My attempt at a marble column using an in expensive Cake decoration pillar and a sponge painting technique.




A few unfortunate Gladiators From West Wind and one sculpted by me. The West wind (old glory) gladiators look very rough in the package however I think the paint up nicely.




Two of the same Bronze age miniature Gladiators with head swaps. The Spartacus figure is from a company that I can't remember the name of but it was a nice little figure to paint. And two Bronze age generic males that I have turned into Theokoles the Shadow of death and Doctore from the flash back fight scene with Theokoles.










Dagan the Syrian, from the last fight scene in "Spartacus gods of the Arena" after losing an eye in a fight with Asher.
The last is "Gaia" a Roman noble woman made with sculpting putty and a Bronze age generic female figure. And with what I'll admit is a really big goblet of wine




For the most part they came out OK and were fun to make.

Bronze age Gladiator WIP

Just a few new WIP Gladiators inspired by Starz' Spartacus.

Gladiator ax man

I got the idea for this gladiator from the Starz show Spartacus. In the 1st episode Spartacus fight off four other gladiators who were intent on slaughtering him. One for the gladiators looked much like this.



He started out as a Bronze age generic figure (great company) and a helmet swap from one of their new gladiators figures( I am a sucker for the Secutor helmet). The rest of the armor,belts and clothing was added with "procreate sculptors putty" the Ax and one hand was from a GW bit from my bit box. When you can't find the right figure you want...make it

"Recreational conflicts" hard suit

"Recreational conflicts" hard suit on a "Dragon forge lost empire" base. The figure itself is multi part, with the body,arms,legs.backpack, and a choice of weapons all seperate . It is a nice clean and hefty figure with little clean up needed.
The base I had won in a contest, seemed to fit well with my Atlantis explorer and is a well made base with no defects.
I used a simple copper and sliver paint job to give him(or her) a Steampunky look. This figure is on my list to get more of in the near future.
