WIP Spartan as seen in "300"
Posted: Thu Mar 15, 2007 12:00 pm
Hi all,
Well I`ve been after wanting to do one for awhile now & after seeing Fritz`s excellent figure but moreso this 1/6th custom (It`s not mine,saw it online) I had to do one.
Now seeing this 1/6th custom truely made me want to have a crack & do my own at 1/18th. I do find sometimes the guys who do these wonderfull 1/6th customs do inspire for us to make our own versions at 1/18th.
So I offer some WIP so far.
Tan MM body. Head is Burnout (I think). I`ve gave him short hair & the ponytail,though need to sort out the beard.
His pants are actual Leather & the belt too. The cloak is from the Hot Toys AVP Predator Elder,though DH`s mum is hopfully making me some in a brighter red
The shield is based around the Cap shield,as it offers the correct size (just needs filling & then detailing & painting). The spear is a AOD Trident modified.
The shin armour is from the AOD knights & the sandled feet are from XD Vietcong.
The sword I cut from plasticard & shaped with a dremel.Also has the correct edges on the sword.
I`m currently working on the helmets (I`m doing 4 as that`s how many cloaks I`ve asked DH to get his mum to make ). They will be all removable too.
I`ll be basing it totally on the same style too.
Well that`s it for now.
Ja
