discussion RP Models 75mm Parthia Cataphract Catafratari

[Steve Brodie]

Finally finished this stunning resin kit from RP Models, no build issues at all, hands on the lance were tricky though as i could have done with a 3rd arm (!) to hold it all in place, in the end I used some slow setting super glue to get things lined up, but then the problem was it took 30 seconds to set, which seemed like a lifetime!

The whole model has been painted in various acrylics with paints from the usual suspects - Vallejo, Tamiya & Ammo.

Thoroughly enjoyed building and painting this one. And just in time for Scale Model World in Telford this weekend (9th & 10th Nov)



Thanks for looking.

Hi Steve
That is stunning. Beautifully painted. I enjoyed the blog. I look forward to seeing it in the flesh at Telford. Fingers crossed for an award but competition judging is a strange game.

Stunning and the painting is beautiful. Well done Sir.

 

[Steve Brodie]

Well chuffed.
Walked around the competition area, collecting my entries and looked over towards the table where this model was and spotted a little plastic card, so tried to act all nonchalant and wondered round. Only gone and got a Bronze!, Maybe if i had glued the rider to the camel, so it could be picked up might have been higher lol !!
