One That Was Not On My Bucket List....

    But should have been! Thankfully, I already did it so I can scratch off my list now.....

    Plus, having seen all of hose nifty Victorian subjects put out by the likes of Moz and others, I wanted to show off my own stuff. There are more where this one came from. Watch this space.

    The subject is Sir Charles Napier as he appeared in India where he was known as the "Conquerer of Scind". The tulwar sword and poshteen coat are typical native Indian items. This figure will be commercially available at some future date. That is all I can say about that right now - so don't ask!

    Cheers!!

    That's a really interesting one Mike, very nice job. I bet it'll paint up brilliantly.

    I presume this is the sender of the famous (but possibly apocryphal) "Peccavi" telegram :)

    As I scrolled down I thought it was a funky Sgt Pepper steampunk type of figure!
    Looks brilliant as usual Mike:)

    My, that's a nice one !! (y)
    I confess I had to do a very quick google to find out who this guy was, ... seems he had a sense of humour I can approve of :) and 10/10 for you, you captured the likeness very well (y)
    ... out of your bucket list, on my buying list !

    I had really no idea at all who this personality was, are you going to be very angry at me if I tell you my first thought was you did John Lennon, or just a little bit ?

    Oh, sorry folks, this is a 120mm figure. And he out-ranks Sgt. Pepper by a considerable amount! But hey, if you are into steam punk, he will do......

    When his head came up on screen I also thought it was John Lennon!

    Mike - do you have to saw him apart to have him cast now? I have always wondered how this was done. Band saw? Dremel? Bread knife?

    A lovely figure. I can't wait until it goes on sale. I really like his stance, the spy glass and the woollen jacket. Very hippie.

    Dumb question - I spotted the arm seams when I actually took the trouble to look carefully. D'oh!
