Von RP Models gibt es einige beeindruckende Resinfiguren und Büsten. Von denen, die ich bisher kenne, ist wohl der Harald Hardråde wohl die beeindruckendste Figur.
Rüstung, Waffengehänge, Manel, Schild und Waffen sind mit äußerster Schärfe und Detailfülle wiedergegeben. Da wird man es auch bei der Bemalung etwas leichter haben, als sonst.
Die Figur kostet ca. 35-45€, je nachdem, wo man danach sucht. Da die Qualität wirklich ihresgleichen sucht finde ich den Preis vertretbar.

RP Models offers a couple of impressive resin figures and busts. Of those, which i know so far, the Harald Hardrada figure is the most impressive one.
Armor, belts, cloak, shield and weapons are made with outmost sharpness and excellent level of detail. This will make the painting process a bit easier than normally.
The figure kit costs about 35-45€, depending on the source. Due to the fact that the quality of this figure can barely be compared to others i find this acceptable.

Harald Sigurdsson (Old Norse: Haraldr Sigurðarson; c. 1015 – 25 September 1066), given the epithet Hardrada (Old Norse: harðráði, modern Norwegian: Hardråde, roughly translated as "stern counsel" or "hard ruler") in the sagas, was King of Norway (as Harald III) from 1046 to 1066. In addition, he unsuccessfully claimed the Danish throne until 1064 and the English throne in 1066. Before becoming king, Harald had spent around fifteen years in exile as a mercenary and military commander in Kievan Rus' and of the Varangian Guard in the Byzantine Empire. 
Not long after Harald had renounced his claim to Denmark, the former Earl of Northumbria, Tostig Godwinson, brother of the newly chosen English king Harold Godwinson, pledged his allegiance to Harald and invited him to claim the English throne. Harald went along and entered Northern England in September 1066, raided the coast and defeated English regional forces in the Battle of Fulford near York. Although initially successful, Harald was defeated and killed in an attack by Harold Godwinson's forces in the Battle of Stamford Bridge. Modern historians have often considered Harald's death, which brought an end to his invasion, as the end of the Viking Age.
