The second 54mm white metal
kit figure kit released by the talented Raul Garcia Latorre is an Anglo
Saxon "Northumbrian Warrior of the 8th - 9th centuries AD". The figure stands
on its scenic base with a spear and throwing javelin sloped across the right
shoulder.
The designer has based the model on Osprey Men at Arms No154 Arthur and
Anglo Saxon Warriors, plus a lot of material gleaned from 'Northumbrain'
websites which are listed on the kit slip. Cast in white metal, the figure
has some some finely detailed mail and lots of sharp detail. watch closely
what you remove when cleaning up the castings because its easy to eradicate
some fine straps on the legs which need to stay there. the helmet, common
to this period has nasal and cheek guards.
In addition to spear and javelin a short or knife (scramasax) and circular
shield are carried. A cast scenic base is provided and the kit parts are
supplied foam wrapped in a box.
