I started this little fella by making his head. I glued four small pieces of sprue together and trimmed them into shape. Next, I attached some eyes and a nose before cutting up an old base to create the cheek and neck guards of the helmet. I finished it off by giving him a lovely, big plume on top.

Moving on to the body, I made my basic “Dude” frame, then added a few engraved pieces of armour. I called it done after making his gladius and large shield.

I kept the paint scheme “classic” by only using reds, yellows, and metallic colours.

This mini is a little more elaborate than most of the ones I’ve made. And it did take more time than usual, but in the end, I think it was definitely worth it!
Click below to see when I made a number of siege weapons out of the single sprue that these Roman minis came on!
