Hi all,

Meet Livia, gladiatrix. Finally finished painting her over the Easter weekend.

Here is a front-on shot:



And the shield design below. I painted it with a symbol of Apollo, and it's my first attempt at painting a design freehand:



There is a full picture of the back view of the figure on my blog, along with a couple of other pics: http://painting-princess.blogspot.com.au/2013/04/livia-gladiatrix.html

Hope you like it!

She's a killer PP!! 

The freehand symbol is great - nice work.

Keen to face her in the arena soon...

Wonderful! Thumb up!

Thanks, Suber!

I took another pic last night. Thought the rivals looked cool when I saw them poised in their archways, ready to take to the field.



Here, Livia prepares to fight against a male gladiator (painted by Christian).

Love them!! Hope they fight well!!

Thanks! Me too ... that male gladiator has had some impressive wins before, so I'm hoping Livia is up to the challenge

They look great! Reminds me of the old, old Superior mini of Achilles....must drag him out and get him in the gladiator queue!



Not a great pic, off the Perth Pewter site which has a load of the old Superior figures up for sale in...well, pewter

Nice work, Princess.
You have a very neat and clean style that I appreciate, and that FIRST attempt at freehand is damned impressive!
