The House of Spoons (The Arena Floor) 15/10

[Mason]

Well, it has been over a month since I rather stupidly said:

hope to finish this fella on Sunday/Monday.

Piccies after then.
 

......but I can say that he is almost done now and just needs his spear finishing off and the face of his shield added (Bibbles is donating that at SELWG on Sunday).

So maybe this 'Sunday/Monday'......?

Maybe a piccie before then for a WIP shot.....

Blimey, a thirteen letter word from Bibbles...

Looking forward to seeing the finished version

I have finished the Green Stuffing on my latest three, I will try and slap some paint on one at the weekend.

Yeah - what he said! Looking forward to seeing all these custom gladiators. 

[Mason]

Thanks for the abuse, chaps!
 

Mama: Hope to get painting mine next week sometime, but will have finished the greenstuff part before then.

Will post some piccies when Bibbles puts the dictionary away...

Right, here are some (dodgy) WIP piccies of the Hoplomachus converted from the bottom Retiarus in this picture:

The thing on the floor next to him is his left hand holding the inside of his shield.
This will be attached when I get the rest of the shield from Bibbles on Sunday.

After that, all I have to do is slip a spear into the slot in his right hand and I can slap some paint on him.

Here's hoping it works for you fellas, as I hope he will look quite good when he is finished.

He's looking really good mate, especially the helmet.

[Mad Doc Morris]

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.
 

When are you going to post your conversions?

Cheers, Doc!
The straps are not that difficult actually, they were much easier than the helmet.

As for a face mask: Not this time.
I know that most images of Hoppo's show them in masks, but I like the face on this sculpt and the Hoppo in Blood on the Sands is classed as a 'light' gladiator and I thought I should leave him as unencumbered as possible.

[Mad Doc Morris]

Fair enough. Was just wondering.
Looking forward to seeing him painted.

[Captain Blood]

Oooooh. Looking good Paul.

Shiny mate, just shiny 

cheers

[Malamute]

Cheers, mate.
 

When are you going to post your conversions?

Going to paint my Hoppo tomorrow, he's undercoated and ready to go.

[pocoloco]

Very nice gs work on the hoppo 

Now, get him painted and make him known in the arenas as Rutgerus Hauerus, Hoppo with a Spear

[Elk101]

That's proper pro green stuff work there; let's see him take on the scary little girl cultist though!
