1/4 Russell Crowe 'Gladiator' Maximus Statue

I thought I'd start a thread dedicated to the commissioned 1/4 scale Russell Crowe 'Gladiator' Maximus statue, sculpted by Andy Bergholtz, now that most people have received their casts and some of them are being completed.

My casts arrived yesterday... well four of them are now with me and one of them is with Les in the US!




I was going to have a go at building one myself but becasue I have no experience in building kits, I just don't think I'll do a good job.

It looks like there needs to be some cutting, sanding and filling to get the statue fully built. So, I'll be looking at selling the above four - keep an eye out!

Man, that looks fantastic Who did the paint-up?

awesome!!! my only issue with this statue is that the neck is a bit too long.

This custom statue looks awesome!

Thanks for the comments guys.
It was painted by a guy called 'Mat Scrivens', based in Shefield, England. His forum name on the statue forum is 'logan25'.

Reinhardt, I agree that the neck seemed too long, which is why Mat bulked out the neck and muscles for me. Im sorry you didnt notice it

Excellent stuff, that is a stunning piece. Looks like its straight from the film

Did you hear about the Roman cannibal who had his mother-in-law over for dinner?

He was glad he ate her.

Why?

This one is great as is imo. I don't know what SS could do to improve what your seeing already.

This sculptor did a kick ass job and the paint job is top notch.

I will be getting one done hopefully by summer as well. Can't wait

Nice.

I noticed it did look bulkier. Good job...although the shoulder pads and other areas are still off.

Best Maximus piece there is.
