Boudica (FeR Miniatures)

[ajlafleche]

Boudica was a warrior queen of the Icene tribe of Britons who fought the Romans circa 40 CE. Thiis is FeR's excellent 1/10 bust. She is painted mostly in AK Gen3 paints. The red hair is based on a YouTube video by Vince Venturella.

Well done! Looks like you've got those AK G3 paints sorted out. I've played with them a little but haven't gotten too comfortable with them yet, at least not when I try to spray them.

The combination of the sculpting and painting of her hair is very, very good.  As is the lighting on  her face.

Looking great!  BTW- there is a "memorial" to Boudica and her daughters in London. It is on the north end of Westminster Bridge (the Parliament building and Elizabeth Tower are on that side of the Thames and just across the street from the memorial. I've seen articles in print that indicate Boudica was killed and buried near King's Cross Station in London but no memorial plaque marks the spot.

If you Google-Map Boudica's memorial you'll note that the view is blocked a bit by a souvenir stand.

And yet, we have no idea what she really looked like.

What?  No photographs exist? No plaster castings?! No paintings? What's this world coming to?!!!!

[Ron Bell]

Well, there were reports circulating on the interweb of the existence of a caricature she had done on the midway at the Scarborough Fair, but it has never been seen.

And here is the photo I took of the "monument" to her. The photo is dated in 2022. Note the souvenir stand in front of the monument. Rather a poor location as it blocks the view somewhat.

Excellent paint up!
