    Out of my comfort zone with this figure but it's beautifully cast and sculpted. Not a period I am familiar with but the pose sold it for me.

    Painting is in acrylic and just the face has been done so far.

    Thanks Nap, the detail is fantastic and at 65mm I can see to paint it.

    Cheers Pete, the face is a superb sculpt and due to the casting, really nice.

    Lovely figure, great start and I agree with you about 65mm. I find 65/75mm figures a lot easier to paint than 54mm.

    Just a small update, the ground work has been prepared and painted. I am onto the jerkin and then the bandoliers with the powder flask's.
    At this stage I am pleased so far with the progress. I will post better pictures when he is finished. IMG_20230522_182158.jpg

    Thank you both for the first rate comments, appreciated.
    It's quite challenging to paint this one and way out of my normal period zone.
