My first kit back from the casters - a 28-35mm scale Spartan Shield, Spear and Lakonian shortsword and scabbard.
This is exactly the same design spear I used on the Sanguinary Phalanx commission (just without the purity seals).
Cast in a fairly flexible resin, the spear staff has quite a bit of flex to it (even when painted) so it shouldn't snap so long as it's kept / transported sensibly. Alternatively you could simply cut the pieces off the shaft and use a brass rod.
Bubble free!
Here's the unpainted pics:
Very rapid paintjob last night just to have something to show.
A better pic on a terrain item:
And a pic of the spears on some marines:
The symbol on the shield is cast on, but would be easy enough to file off if you wanted a plain shield. The spear and shield grips are pretty close to the right diameter to fit in a marine hand, but to fit the spear you'd need to cut it. I'll put a pictorial guide together for the process at some point in the near future.
You can order either directly from me (check the post on my blog for contact info - click the link in my signature) or on evilBay here:

Thanks very much.
PS: I'm getting more cast up, ebay has my current stock in hand allocated. :-)
