    Hi Guys,

    Here is a piece I just completed for Frank Miniatures.

    As you can see it depicts a 15th-16th Century Crossbowman.

    Frank is hoping to launch him at Ingolstadt (Prince of Bavaria show) this year.

    As always thanks for looking, and I hope you like him.

    Superb Mr Reid....as always.......only for personal taste....I would have preferred his right arm to be complete....still a very nice change from the usual subjects.....and it don't look like a Huron either :LOL:

    Now thats disappointing Ron, I was actually going for The famous Huron Crossbowmen militia, allied to the French at the battle of Crecy.... LOL

    Anyway glad you like buddy!

    Very nice work Carl, as always. I especially like how you have sculpted the arms on this one. A very novel idea.

    Definitely like this one Carl. Looking forward to seeing it at Ingolstadt.
    I like the unusual way you've tackled the arms and the crossbow, reminds me of your bronze Jazz musicians.
    Cheers

    Oh I don't know Ron the ears are probably a bit Huronesque ;)

    Cheers chaps! Glad you like him!

    It is a little different, but I think it works quite well.

    Your right Del, it is similar to the musicians i did. I quite like that look, without being too contemporary. I think it kind of straddles traditional and contemporary without being too controversial.

    Hi Samson,

    I'm sure if an American inch is different, but it's approximately 4 imperial inches, including the plinth.

    Hm - I do not know, somehow it seems to me strangely familiar, the attitude, the face - I've seen it before - Hm - ah I know as a novelty on FB!

    Great and it increases the anticipation of Ingo immensely!
