Another Figure to Identify

[Gregorius]

Hello All,

Can you help me identify this figure (http://www-personal.une.edu.au/~gkellehe/unknown.htm) ? I think it represents either east Asian hoplite or a Saitic one. I also think it may be Essex. Thanks in advance.

the picture link is broken when I look at it.

Not only is the picture link "broken", but my virus software (AVG-from Grisoft) goes NUTS when I try to open it... My floppy drive tries to boot something, and my HDD tends to crash...

Someone may want to have a closer look at that link.

Sorry for that guys. I have fixed it up. Try it again from here. (http://www-personal.une.edu.au/~gkellehe/unknown.htm)

Greg,

what you have there is Essex MPA59 Phonecian Marine.

I might have some more of them at home if you want them.

Cheers

Hi David,

Thanks for the identification. How many do you have? Can you answer me offline? Now that the figure is identified what do I paint the robe. Is this linen or some form of armour? Thanks in advance?

Phoenician marines wore metal scale armor. You could paint it bronze (my choice because it's prettier) or iron. Their clothing could be pretty much any color, and decorations of "Tyrian purple" would not be out of place.
