After taking a couple of weeks off from painting I returned to the brushes yesterday and put the finishing touches on my version of PiliPili's 1/9th scale Trapper. I replaced the feather with a wider feather and fastened it to the side of the head instead of the front.

All comments welcomed.
Thanks for looking.

Very nicely done Guy! Love the colors and textures you got on the buckskins!

well done Guy! Nice tones overall.

I like the darker skins on the shirt. You and Mr. Quang make quite a team!

One of your best, I think!!

Great buckskin, nice multicoloring of the fringe... the weather worn face!

VERY nice!

Thanks for the kind words guys. As you know I enjoy the Mountain Man era and this bust was a welcome addition to my collection of painted Mountain Men.

Nice work Guy!

Who made the base? Its a very nice one!

Very excellent！
A choice of a collar is wonderful.
I liked it very much.
I think a beautiful masterpiece.

Thanks for the feedback and kind words. The bust has so many options for painting which is why I like this subject.

I'm thinkin' that base is one of Ronnie Sanders "the Hussar Base" creations, no?

Yet another first class job Guy

Thanks guys for the feedback and comments. This gives me 8 Mountain Man busts in my collection. Just waiting for another to be released.

Steve - Yes.....Ronnie did make the bases from an exotic piece of wood. he made several of these as well as some cliff faced bases for me.
