Socks and sandals have never looked so sexy.
This isn’t fancy dress, it’s historically accurate attire and Brumio won’t hear otherwise. And don’t get him started on Gladiator’s inaccuracies. Outrageous. And Life of Brian?! What a joke.
What did the Romans ever do for us? dunno. But @nftsmodelmaking did great things.

Over lockdown Brumio Maximus was born... (pls help me find a better name)
An Aardman-esque character designed to fit into an episode of Shaun the Sheep. Grumpy and clueless in a homemade costume... I’m sure we’ve all been there at some point.
@nftsmodelmaking cracking on through assorted pandemics and lockdowns - wouldn’t expect any less! Bring on the zombie apocalypse... we’ll still be sculpting.

1:8 scale set replica from ‘Moon’
Built in 6 weeks by the @nftsmodelmaking crew. Started with piles of MDF and 11 baffled model makers... Ended with this glorious set and 11 proud sci-fi veterans.
