This arrived yesterday:

It's a really amazing sculpt and a nice - BIG - kit. Was made in very limited numbers, so I'm happy to finally snag one.

Here's a test fit of some of the kit parts from tonight, nothing glued yet:

I'm looking forward to finishing the build-up and starting to paint! Should be a nice challenge.

Thanks guys, today I had a few hours to clean up the parts and make a secure mounting system to keep the heads interchangable.

The kit is finally built and I'm making progress with the paintwork.

There are still more kit parts to trim, sand, prime, paint and add, but here's where I am up to as of tonight. I'm guessing it's around 70% complete at this stage:

I turned my back for a minute and the wine was gone! :confused

That is the Dog's B****x Mate. It really looks like Ol' Russell too! Now THAT is skill!
 
Re: Gladiator - Maximus 1:4 statue - buildup & paint

Thanks mate!

Here are a couple more progress pics from today - still have to add the leather parts to the skirt, sword blade and paint the base, plus some fine tuning here and there - but he's almost done!

Thanks guys.

This was a really great kit, Andy Bergholtz knocked the likeness out of the ball park, which made the build and paint-up a lot easier.

I will have some finished photos up in a day or two.
 
Re: Gladiator - Maximus 1:4 statue -FINISHED!

I finished this up today - I decided to go with the helmetless head to recreate the final battle. I made some rose petals for the floor, added some extra blue fabric to the lower neck and made a small necklace, as Maximus wears one throughout the film.

Here's the finished piece:
