Libra is the seventh sign of the Zodiac. The scales of the constellation Libra symbolize those held by the Greek goddess, Themis, who is the personification of law, custom, and justice. Themis is the inspiration for modern-day depictions of the personification of Lady Justice along with Justita and Dike. Libra represents balance, which I think this model pulls off beautifully (even if it made me nervous as I was gluing her together!). Everything on it has a degree of symmetry, from her staff, to her back piece with the snakes which combined with the tassels and ring look very much like the Libra scales themselves. I will admit, as much as I love how she turned out, Libra has been the most difficult model to complete so far. I was having a rough time with my hands while I worked on her, and it was very down to the wire in terms of having time to take pictures, edit, and write up this post. I'm hoping I haven't run out of steam yet - after all, Scorpio is right around the corner! I am noticing that as this project goes on, I am getting more efficient at certain parts of the paint job. Five models in as many months is no small feat - and I'm going for 12 for 12 still! My Libra friends who picked her colors were happy to see that she is both standing for trans rights as well as repping that bisexual energy (which hey, makes sense with "balance" right?). I am painting my way through the Zodiac! Originally posted September 23rd, 2022. Give me a follow and stay tuned for the rest of the signs to make their way to my gallery over the course of the year! :) Sculpt is by Scale75 from their Zodiac Mystic Signs Kickstarter - https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/scale75/zodiac-mystic-signs 75mm 1/24 Scale Painted using acrylics by hand with brushes only (I do not own an airbrush).
