Great work! I like the helmet and shield!

Too bad the movie was so inaccurate - we had a good laugh about it in my Greek history graduate class

Awww Thank`s very much guys.
Also for the very kind words in the Spartan WIP thread too.
After seeing that Awesome 1/6th custom online,I just knew we at 1/18th can do just as good

I`d like to think I`m part way there in that effort. I`m really impressed with the shield & scratchbuilt helmet,sword & scabbard I made. The beard sculpt was pretty easy. Glueing the leather for the pants wasn`t hard either.
Adapting the XD Cong feet had to be done (wish we saw more sandled feet).

Now I can tell you I`m really looking forward to seeing the movie when it kickstarts over here.

Again Thank YOU for the very kind words.

Hey Ja... pretty righteous work as always... I only found out about the movie a couple days ago...have gone thru another movie theatre hiatus. I heard nothing but good about 300. I'm gonna look it up and then of course watchin possibly next weekend.

Take care man... hope all is well!
