Miniart 1:16 Scale Praetorian Guardsman II century A.D. Plastic Model Kit (Grey)

Never made a Miniart figure before impressed with quality. the order arrived in good time and the service was excellent

looked good when arrived, found there was no instructions, muddled through, turned out quite good when painted

All Good.

At under £13 this was a bargain for a 1/16 model kit. The kit arrived ahead of time and as advertised. The model itself has some very nicely sculpted detail. Although there are surviving depictions of soldiers wearing Attic helmets, most scholars agree that this archaic headgear was used as a kind of artistic shorthand to represent a classical military ideal, and troops are unlikely to have worn them in the field. Still, it was a fun item to paint up even if the finished item looks a bit like a Hollywood version of a Roman soldier. It was also nice to get a decal included and this slid onto the shield perfectly.The main negative for me was the poor fit of the pieces, which necessitated a lot of filling and sanding, and copious amounts of superglue. I would recommend this to an experienced modeller but a novice might find it a bit frustrating.

Good but instructions could be a bit bet better

Good model for scale however not the quality of Tamiya or main manufacturers but this is Miniart not known for quality fit or instructions.

Just opened the box too find a different figure to one it's supposed to be a Praetorian guardsmans not a Dragoon so I can't make the model could you send me another model or the missing parts I got the shield and helmet and arms its the body I need.

Love building these
