I recall that name too. Riko started the import of Tamiya to the UK I think...
Did you buy it in a Beaties store by any chance Karl.

No, a small model shop in Redhill. I actually bought very little in Beatties but was in the Romford one a fair bit for a nosey.
 
Riko used to do model railway products, kits & scenic scatter. Haven't seen their stuff in years.

Just wondering, but does the kit you have include the shorter canopy, or only the long one?
 
Oi! I was going to use that quote during the paint (can’t call it a build, he’s only made from four parts). Never mind, there are plenty of others…..
Some of the other gladiators were in 4 parts as well!!, Great movie one of my favourites..

I haven't studied in detail yet but looking at a YouTube clip of the landing scene they have the longer canopy.
Ah, I didn’t remember that bit, I do recall seeing short-canopied ones, which is what’s in my 1:72 scale kit. Handy that either will do :)
 
Slight change of angle from me. My carpet monster seems to have eaten my Young miniatures bust of Lucky Jack Aubrey. I know I’ve got him, but I don’t know where he is…..
I’ll therefore go for the back up option…..

He is Maximus Decimus Meridius, commander of the armies of the north, general of the felix legions and loyal servant to the true emperor Marcus Aurelius. Father to a murdered son and husband to a murdered wife. And he will be painted, in this life or the next…..

Aargh! I was going to do the full 75mm figure of Maximus from Alexandros, but I think there's only enough room for one Spaniard in this GB - I'll think again.

Don’t sweat it. It will be fun to see you outpaint me…….go for it :thumb2:
 
I’ve just had a look Paul. He looks great, and is from a later part of the film. You’ve got to go for him……
