Hi all
I have to agree with you jackwagon sounds like the best option

Deafpanzer glad your enjoying it

Cheers Boots always a pleasure to have your input

Spud thanks matey the tattoo is painted

Many thanks Dave

couple of updates, ive painted the Sica as it is, burnt umber and orange washes with iron work decorations and a bone handle, also over painted the tattoo with a mixture of blue, black and green. With the Falx im going to sharpen the inner edge and then add some milliput to the outer edge to thicken it up and then shape it from there







all for now

Paul

[bullardino]

I love it, Paul. The tattoo is fantastic. Too bad you have to correct the falx, but painting it with the wrong shape would be worse.

[spud]

you should go Drinking more often Paul because your hands are too steady ;D

[Biskup.]

Looks mighty fine Can't wait for more

[Paul P.]

cheers guys, Spud i have to do the fine bits after many ciders, that way i can see plural of what im doing so at least one might be right

Paul

Super work Paul, the level of detail you can get with a brush is outstanding!

[`Boots`]

Stunning mate!!! ;D

Did think about milliput for the back edge of the sword to be honest Paul.............but knowing how small this sword is in real time rather than the way the pic portrays the size it made me realise how much of a challenge it would really be!!!!................best of luck on it bud......i know you`ll pull it off ;D

Hi all

Stevem cheers mucka as i said plenty of cider and good eye boggle glasses help

Boots cheers mate i love a challenge

Boo the romans had to devise new armour parts especially for the legs as the Dacians would sweep the legs and this thing would slice them off easy

jackwagon you cant beat the fermented apple, or pear, or berry or anything come to that ;D

Just so you know guys i tried to file away the falx but to no avail so ill make a new one, probably just the blade, more to follow

Paul

Paul, i love the tattoo! This thing is a masterpiece. A joy to see it come to life.

Hi all

jackwagon you were right and less time as well

Cheers Gary

Ok the new blade for the Falx was made from some Ali sheet, cut and filed and then rebated into the handle, so primed the whole arm and then same as the left arm as per the painting



I thought i might as well add a tattoo to this arm, so ive just gone with the basic pattern on his shield, apparently they went for face tattoos as well but im not going that far



this is the first coat on the tattoo so ill probably just go over it once more

Ive also knocked up a base from a piece of Iroko



it need another few coats of polish and some baise for the bottom


all for now

Paul

[robbo]

Top job Paul, great stuff

[Deleted]

All I can say regarding this superb masterclass is.....'Falxin' awesome!!!! ;D

[Deleted]

Attention to detail on the blade is top stuff ! As the speaker before said ... Masterclass

[spud]

wow that's a sweet base Paul

[Paul P.]

Hi all

jackwagon yes she was named after the wood

Well finally got this one finished and ive thoroughly enjoyed it, the sculpting and finish are second to none and gives the painter a chance to practice several techniques. Im contemplating getting another one and sculpting the legs to make it a whole figure, but that will be in the future














All for now thanks for looking in

Paul

[spud]

now that sounds epic Paul.

[Biskup.]
