    Troop54 miniature, 54mm
    I painted this one back in January 2018, which can be seen here

    I was not happy with the face and uniform so a Dettol bath later and I have now finished this one again.
    The face has been painted in oils and the uniform in acrylics. The ground work is soil from the quantock hills, this year had been quite dry in May, a great time to pick some fine soil.

    Oh & BTW, the 2 with the swords in your period photo look a right pair of cutthroats!

    Bet you're pleased with this one Bob:) Really nice job

    Not always the easiest of decisions to strip a figure that you painted recently, but I like what you've done with the repaint
    Congrats

    Nice one Bob. Love the new take on this and must applaud you tackling something this size twice. My eyes would have given up the ghost long before.
