I think I will go for the Hoplomachus option as it is different to everything else I have.
Good man - can't wait to see him!! If you have any queries on the "get up" - ask away.
I was going to use the Hoplomachus from this site as inspiration:

Great site you have found there, but the helmet on the first Provocatur looks like something out of the Muppets lol

Does that seem right to you?
Pics of the conversion to follow soon I'd say... ;)
He seems fine and the helmet is pretty good too.

Busy with 1:1 scale stuff for the next few days, hope to finish this fella on Sunday/Monday.
Piccies after then.

He's looking really good mate, especially the helmet. :)
Very nice work. Never would dare to sculpt all those strips and straps.
Pose looks good, too. Does he get a face mask?
Cheers, mate.
:D
When are you going to post your conversions?
Now, get him painted and make him known in the arenas as Rutgerus Hauerus, Hoppo with a Spear :)
....... let's see him take on the scary little girl cultist though!
Just to wind Bibbles up I am going to announce that I have finished the arena floor/hex mat thingy and I will post a piccie to prove it later (or even tomorrow if it turns out that I am too lazy to get it done tonight....).
;D ;D ;D
What the hell have you done to that ???
Left it covered in yoghurt in a warm place no doubt ::)
30mm hexes across the flats and there's a very good emporium of such goods not a million miles away ;)

Looks great, now get some paint on those Gladioli. (you've only got two weeks) ;)
I was half expecting marble floors for the mighty and (in)famous House of Spoons... oh well, I quess sand arena is easier to maintain :)
Nice work on it Paul. Now, IIRC you won't have any walls to the arena but will there be any columns and so on that might be placed for different matches?

And you can pack that lark in right now!
>:(
Two weeks today! hahaha! Two weeks today! lol
Best get to work my friend ;)
Ps I've just finished number six :D :D
Hmmmm....... ::)
That is great!
Less for the rest of us to do.
:D :D
Keep it up.
lol
But we all want to see the fine Gladioli from the House of Spoons parading in the arena ;)
I am beginning to think that there may not be any fine Gladioli from Spoonville....just dead ones.
As for parading.....I shall leave that to Flossie!
:D
I do like the arena floor Paul - but how did you do it? It has a very unique texture. :o
And Nick when are we going to see your new gladiators - hmm?
Dimatwoswords at the weekend once he's had his second coat of varnish and the base has been sanded. :)
Then there is one more Hoppo to paint, another Myrmillo, a Scissori and a Provo. ::)
Looking forward to seeing him painted mate (and yours too Paul!!).
It sounds lunfortunately the vicious gladiator spiral has began for you to!! lol
It gets worse:
That bloody Malamutus has taken to sending me pictures of his painted Gladioli via text!
The man is sick, I tell ya!
:o
Wait until I text you some of my "other" photos ;)
Mason, I've had some of those pictures from Malamute.
Not the ones with him dressed as Kylie!?!
:o :o
They were bad, but it was the ones of him UN-dressed as Kylie were the ones that made my eyes bleed. lol
I always thought I looked quite good in those pictures. :D
