This is a special figure of Caesar and the description on Plastic Soldier Review says the following about this figure: "an Assyrian king and looks to be based on a portrait of Ashurnasirpal II (ruled 883 to 859 BCE). He wears the polo crown and holds aloft his mace as symbol of his office". This figure comes as extra in a different set, by name this one: Ancient Egyptian Chariots

So I went looking on the internet to find a picture of this king, how I should paint him. And the result you can see below. Painted with acrylic paints (Games Workshop and Revell).

Hope you like him ;-)

Thanks for the kind words :thumbup:

Don't know how much colors I used on this figure, but it were a lot of them. I'm a bit afraid to make close-up pictures, because I think he's not so good painted as you all say :oops:

But I'll give it a try when the weather is better, promised ;-)

Who wants to see some bigger pictures, you can see them here:
