That's cool! And people wonder how there can be some imperfections in statues. With so many to cast, paint, and check it's amazing they mostly come out good.

[Arahom Radjah]

This is just a 500 pieces production! Can you imagine a 3000 or more? That's amazing!

[Averone]

Yes very cool!
An army of leos!

[Arahom Radjah]

Yes very cool!
An army of leos!

Yeah! The 500 Spartans!!!!!!!:laugh:

[Alex655321]

Yeah! The 500 Spartans!!!!!!!:laugh:

I am sure he could have used the 200 extra spartans since he had 300 ! lol

Thanks for the picture Arahom, cool to see the process in action !

[samhain81]

Man O Man, what a dream job to have.

[nbr3bagshotrow]

Man O Man, what a dream job to have.

I'm sure, if you are experienced, you could probably do that. You happy with 50 cents/hr?

[Arahom Radjah]

50 cents/hr if you are a skilled worker!!!

[dechirico7]

I would love painting statue for a living, but not at the wages that these people get paid.

[skorpsta]

awesome to show these pics on how its done!!.....so looking foward to mine from my lcs when it arrives!!!

[nbr3bagshotrow]

I couldn't imagine painting the same piece over and over.

Tonight we dine at Arahom's!!!!!!

[J Storm]

That was cool, it makes me more appreciative of the pieces I have after seeing the process.

[Arahom Radjah]

Tonight we dine at Arahom's!!!!!!

LOL!!! You guys are all most welcome to come by for a visit and dinner at any time!!! :thumbs2:

[nbr3bagshotrow]

I like the little birdie fountain statues next to your Leonidas pieces. :D Do you know who else uses this particular factory?

Thanks . . . great to see behind the scenes stuff. Looks like the Spartans have finally met their match, facing off against an army of penguins !

No, I don't know who elses uses this factory!

[Mad4Busts]

This either shows:

the complete absurdity in worrying about the number you get, since they are all done and numbered in a completely different order than they were completed in.

OR

If they are numbered in order of doing them, it shows that you should be shooting for numbers in the middle of the run. Why you ask, well think about this. The guy is getting into his groove for the first few pieces, once he has it down, he is good to go for oh say 100-200 more after that he is just ready to go home! LOL so the last few go as bad as the first few.

[J Storm]

me & Lou are bringing the keg :thumbs2:

[Mad4Busts]

I like to think of this hypothetical regarding the last pic AR posted...

Lee (the guy in the white shirt) and Bruce (the guy in the orange shirt) come into work that day. Floor manager comes out, "Lee, get on these new Leonidas statues to be shipped to America." Lee discreetly pumps his fist so that his roommate Bruce sees him. Floor manager turns to Bruce, "Bruce, you are on the penguins to be shipped to the Anarctica Gift Shop at Sea World. Bruce glares at his roommate and....

go ahead someone else continue the story, lol.

LOL... you are right! At the end of the day, they only think about going home!!!!

[Arahom Radjah]

But seriously, The statues are numbered at the end, so the numbers actually mean nothing regarding quality or order!

[Mezzanin9]

:thumbs2: great pic

[Mannequin]

I got my Leonidas the other day but got to open it only today. To my surprise I got a Fantastic number #500 of 500. The last pieces of the edition!

Anyway let me say what a fantastic job Arahom! My wife even commented that it looks very nice!
I like the fabric leatherette on the handle and the way the cape was layout passing through the head! Awesome composition.

Here are some photo's:

WOW!
500 out of 500!!!
Thats a great number if you ask me!

I have to tell you I have the AP and this looks better!!

Can this be? The actual production piece looks fantastic, better than the AP!! The fabric leatherette on the handle is a real nice touch!

Guys if you are considering this, jump on it while its available!

[Arahom Radjah]

Averone's right, it won't last much longer since we have not many left!

[RyanGabriel]

Arahom are you also considering to do Leonidas in a bigger scale like Achilles?

Thanks

[Mannequin]

I had the same sentiment a few week ago. When the statue arrive I am certainly impressed with this Leonidas... Better grab yours before its gone

[Arahom Radjah]

I tried to buy the kit through the site, but is impossible to international orders. It's a pity.
