Viking Warrior 900 A.D. PROSIT!

Viking Warrior 900 A.D. PROSIT! This is a 54mm metal figure made by Andrea Miniatures. I painted it with acrylic's and the metals were finished with printers inks. I worked on this figure off and on for a long time as all that flesh took a lot of thin coats. Finely started to make good progress last week and finished him off.

Aztec Warrior Mexia Captain 1519 1/10 scale bust sculpted by Pablo Ronda for United Empire Miniatures. I painted this bust with acrylics and oils also printers inks. My photos will be used for the box art.The umbrella shaped head dress was worn by the captain in battle, so his warriors could see the head dress (banner) and rally around him. It was mounted on his back by means of a wooden rack. He wore a cotton suit covered in feathers.

Thracian Peltast Triballi Tribe 424 BC

Thracian Peltast Triballi Tribe 424 BC 1/9 scale resin bust produced by www.unitedempireminiatures.com This was a year long project for me and I am happy to be finished and have the results I was looking for. I converted this bust to a Triballi Tribe by sculpting in a cowhide texture on the Phrygian cap and on the shield.( I used green stuff)Then I was able to paint the cowhide fur. I also painted the cloth earth tones.
