Sargon II by king derelict - Art Girona - 54mm

[king derelict]

Something to occupy idle hands while stuff is setting elsewhere.

Another nicely detailed 54mm figure from Art Girona. Sargon II was the king of the Neo-Assyrian Empire from 722 BC to his death in battle in 705.

This is a nice figure but a nasty casting. All the joints are full of excess metal and a lot of filing was necessary before attempting to fit anything together. Even then I have had to use a lot of putty compared to other figures, generally I have hardly used any until this one.

The major parts are assembled for priming and painting. Ive used ca glue again, it’s so much less messy than epoxy, at least for me.

We’ll see how things look when primed.

 Thanks for looking in

Thanks OC. My friend who is a professor of ancient history has sent me a couple of pictures of neo Assyrian costumes and the model looks quite accurate.

Plenty of purple and gold on this one. All ready to come down on the fold.

I managed to get the black primer and the directional white sprayed on. The filled areas look good so I think I am good to add glazes during breaks on Huron.

 for looking in, the likes and comments.
