AKA, Thor and Friends
Over the last couple of days I made some changes and additions to my Iron-Age non-superhero-movie Thor. To wit, a more accurate and detailed helmet (it came out a tad largish, the old one was a tad smallish), newly created torque and armlets, tunic, a fishing boat, a friend (Hymir), an adversary (Jörmungand), a wife (Sif), and a mistress (or part thereof). These were customized, kitbashed, or put together (like the tunics, jewellery, and drinking horn) by me. It became a bit of a photo essay. Pictures follow below.
You can find the original thread, explaining the rationale for the figure and its attributes HERE.
You can find a detailed review of the Phicen M34 body HERE.

(Below) Thor sheds some of his equipment to go fishing with his friend Hymir, and accidentally catches the Midgard serpent Jörmungand... the Evil One gets away... Snakes!

(Below) After all the exertion, Thor cleans up and tries out a fancy new tunic, which was all the rage in AD 600 (or therebouts), which he saw advertised on a helmet plaque buried with a king of the Angles on one of those drizzly western isles...

(Below) Remembering he had a home, Thor goes back there, and his lovely wife Sif dutifully greets him a drinking horn filled with delicious mead. Her annoyance and reproach at her husband's belated homecoming is suitably concealed, yet clearly detectable... Women!

(Below) Ever the gentleman, Thor produces an impromptu bouquet of flowers he must have helped himself to in the nearest god's front yard. For a moment Sif thinks he has remembered their anniversary... or the International Day of the Woman... then she remembers whom she is dealing with... Men!

(Below) Although touched by Thor's effort with the flowers, lovely Sif wanted a very different and much more satisfying gift for their anniversary. And being a woman and a goddess, she had already helped herself to a vital part of one of her rivals for Thor's affection while he wasn't paying attention... Lovely! (and not so innocent)

(Below) And they all lived happily ever after. (Hey, if Marvel and Hollywood can mess up ancient Scandinavian mythology, so can I... No Ragnarok!)

Hope you enjoyed!
