Completed Dr Johnson (Phoenix Miniatures conversion - 1/32)

[Edward]

Hello all. Here's a pic of a figure I finished over the weekend.

It's a depiction of the English writer Samuel Johnson (1709-1784).

The figure is from Phoenix Miniatures' Georgian range - I modified the face slightly and changed the wig.

Hope you like it!

Always liked Tim Richards' Phoenix stuff (that is all apart from his 'Atlantis'
and 'Phollies' nonsense).... this one is terrific. Bravo !

Ed nice seeing this old classic done up with a new look.
And neat seeing an interesting subject - US Revolutionary era.
You got plans to do some more mate?

Just excellent. Rare to see an 18th century civilian subject as well.

Thanks Mike - I like some of those Tim Richards sculpts he did for Phoenix - I don't have any others in my collection but will see!

Amazing likeness to Reynold's portrait! Fun to do something completely different. I'm reading "The Club" about Johnson, Boswell and the luminaries around them - so especially enjoying seeing this piece. I confess I knew nothing about him before starting the book.
