Benno's Figures Forum

Hi! This time, I painted to paint something different, a non military subject. After seeing MABO's impressive 1/32 Atlantic figures (look at this picture: http://s959.photobucket.com/user/MABO_photos/media/Nostalgia%206_zpsakko39k5.jpg.html), I wanted to paint a Roman woman, but in 1/72. The result is not as good as I wanted (and not as good as the wonderful minis MABO has painted), but it is a welcome addition to my ancient minis collection.

Maybe some of you will recognize the goat that can travel through time :mrgreen:

Looks good PhilC! The bright blue robe is quite fetching. Love that scenery, too.

I love her too!
And yes I have seen the goat before.

Painting quality is excellent. Title (Roman woman) reminds me of Life of Brian :xd:

Oh that is not nice of you Phil! Calling that beautifull lady a goat! :shock:

Excellent painted lady! :thumbup:

Roman woman - for MABO - seems like a good swap to me

Your words are very kind. And feel very honored that you mentioned my name in the topic.

I like your brushwork very much. Nice woman and the idea with the goat is funny.

I like the way you paint. In my eyes you give the figurine a pronounced structure which also creates an impression of deepness during looking from far. Nice!

Thank you all for your nice comments.

@ MABO: I am really happy that you like this mini. By the way, before I saw your own figures, I didn't know that Atlantic had produced 1/32 scale minis.. and I must say that I am tempted to find some :-)
