ATTACK OF THE MONSTER PLANTS- WAR LEMONGER

"Before all else, be armed."

 

Niccolo Machiavelli "The Prince"

 

Applying principles learned from Sun Tzu's "The Art of War" Lemonster girds himself for battle with weapons and armour stolen from his enemy.

 

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

The classical Greek helmet is a bronze bookend, and the broadsword is a letter opener that was in the Press kit for the movie, "Braveheart".

 

I was really chuffed that the helmet actually fit my mutant lemon so neatly!

 

I used a polished copper plate to reflect the light onto Lemonster, with a small torch with a red gel to highlight the face and colour the sword.

 

A helpful Greek commentator has identified the bronze helmet as the work of their bronze casting, metalworking father....remarkable!
