Gonad Sea King of Gath

I bought the Lucid Eye Goliath, Sea People's King to replace my fallen hero general from a campaign presently running at Durham Wargames.  

A champion named Goliath, who was from Gath, came out of the Philistine camp. His height was six cubits and a span.  He had a bronze helmet on his head and wore a coat of scale armor of bronze weighing five thousand shekels on his legs he wore bronze greaves, and a bronze javelin was slung on his back. His spear shaft was like a weaver’s rod, and its iron point weighed six hundred shekels. His shield bearer went ahead of him.

1 Samuel 17:4

Goliath is described as being six cubits and a span tall. This translates to roughly 9 feet 9 inches (2.97 meters), 

The mighty Gonad, Sea King of Gath.  I suspect he will be a huge target!  Super detailed figure.  50mm.

Holmes and Watson and the mysterious case of the Giant Philistine.

I have him a base coat of sand colour, and used bronze, gold and silver metallics.  The kilt below the bronze chest armour is typically Sea People's, but Canaanite too, so I multi colored it, using the Osprey elite on the Sea People's as a template.

The shield bearer I translate to a chariot driver.

The big boy dwarfs that chariot though.

Just the basing and shading to go.
Level three Hero for the Midgard rules.
