I'm still awaitin' an order of paint for the shield colours on my Ancient Celt, due to the postal strikes and I suppose this combined with the fact that the stockists may not have had the particular colours in stock to begin with, has made me wait all the more.

Anyway, i've finished cleanin' this one up. This is a Seil Model figure and there are a lot of parts!

The crown is made out of resin, and is not very accurately produced. The nodules are slightly distorted and twisted, so I won't be usin' this part. I have somethin' else in mind.

I never liked the crown part, so here is my alternative to usin' the resin crown piece. I used some 1mm solder wire, it was a little tough to bend, but nothin' a suitably sized handle of a paintbrush couldn't deal with. After this I jus' needed to make it conform tightly to the lion head's base, which was slightly oval. The join was then filled with Milliput, and finished.

Yeah Ernest, its by Stefano Borin. The way this figure goes together it'll require a bit of milliput and liquid putty work.

I got this built and puttied.
There were gaps where the arms fit to his chest, and these needed fillin' with some Milliput, in my view. I then sculpted in the chainmail to make it look consistent.
I also added a link to the chain that runs over his shoulder at the point where it connects to his breast, with some liquid putty.
