Mark Anthony by king derelict - Andrea Models - 54mm

[king derelict]

Ive been struggling with motivation lately and I have opened a few boxes and started something only to put it away again.

 was the last thing I fiddled with and it might make it to completion. It has a few interesting challenges so we shall see.

This is my first Andrea Models figure. It is 54 mm but seems rather a smaller 54mm than the Pergaso and Art Girona figures.

So off we go with Mark Anthony plotting his campaign.

 kit has Mark sat on the edge of the table with maps, his sword and helmet. The details look rather nice, the map has features marked on it that might be possible to paint. 

It’s going to present some painting challenges with a lot of parts needing to be painted separately. So I think the base and table legs, the table top, Mark, and the detail pieces.  Everything has had a shot of black primer.

The three jackals that make the table legs are glued in. The fourth leg is under the cloak and glued to the table top. Test fitting suggests this is all going to fit together later.

I polished Marks breastplate and back piece.

This then got painted with Tamiya clear orange to get the gilded effect.

 The Blutack on a cocktail stick is not a very stable painting fixture but equally, the usual pill container is not going to work either. The arms and head are going to have to be added towards the end to make sure that he sprawls across the table properly. Plenty to play with here.

Thanks for looking in

An interesting figure, for sure. Caesar's friend.
