Thalia – Trophy Edition is a 90 mm resin bust designed as an accessible study piece for painters who want to practice lighting, skin rendering and simplified hard-surface work. As one of the early models from your catalog, this version features broader shapes, softer details and cleaner surfaces compared to your modern sculpts, making it a great option for beginners and intermediate painters looking for a forgiving and readable piece.

The undead theme gives painters room to experiment with desaturated palettes, cold atmospheres and subtle transitions on the exposed facial areas. The simplified armor plates are excellent for practicing basic hard-surface lighting, soft NMM, or even stylized rendering without needing to manage complex micro-details. This balance between soft undead skin and straightforward armor elements makes Thalia particularly suitable for studying contrast, mood and focal point placement.

The larger 90 mm format provides generous surfaces for smooth blending, glazing and controlled gradients, while the cleaner sculpt layout allows painters to focus on the fundamentals: highlight direction, shape interpretation and shadow structure. For more experienced painters, the bust still offers opportunities to push atmosphere with rim lights, high contrast setups or cold/warm color interplay.

Overall, Thalia – Trophy Edition is a simple and enjoyable bust ideal for study work, beginner-friendly practice, or quick atmospheric projects before moving on to more advanced, high-detail sculpts.
