Oksana, Viking Shield Maiden. When I first saw this I thought it was awesome. A viking woman! Not only that, but aside from being pantlessed and wearing a horned helmet she is a pretty good historical fit! She's even really big, bigger than my other viking women, so she'd make an excellent warlord or something. I am extremely happy with the way this figure turned out as well. Note the face... Interesting story. After trying to paint the right eye four times, I realized there was a problem with the sculpt/cast, and that it would never work. So, what to do? Well, assumed she took a first or shield boss to the eye and it is now swollen and damaged! I'm happy with how it turned out. The Shield is not a decal either and it looks kinda weird because there are these metal bands on it... I should have filed them off...
