Very, very nice, but an awful lot of money to spend for just a couple scenarios.

but an awful lot of money to spend for just a couple scenarios.

Only if you think that way, other people don't.

I agree it is an awful lot of money, but I don’t game too often so it’s always going to be a display more than anything else, I have to say it’s a superb model to put together, mierce definitely make their resin kits s hell of a lot better than the forge world kits I’ve bought before, oh and thanks guys,


To paint it i basecoated black, then used foundry burnished copper A , a little drybrush with the B shade and then a little C added to it, then nuln oil washed 3  times making sure it didn’t pool darkened it down enough, then I used nihilakh oxide, thinned a little in small areas and sponged it off !
Hope that helps!


Cheers

Andy

That is very nice indeed, a proper Talos. Does he have the plug at his heel? If not, how do you defeat him?

And i just watched Jason and the argonauts  :-* :-*

The price about right for a scale model figure of that size, it could be better but you were not fleeced  ;D

Brilliant work - a great paintjob on a great model! I think you’ve got your money’s worth there.

I made my Talos using a large scale tourist statuette of Achilles and giving it a repaint. It only cost 10 Euros, but if you add on the air fare to Greece, it probably wasn’t that much of a bargain 😀.
