Difficult to believe that wearing mail extended late into the C19th/early C20th.... but it did: - did not they continue wearing chainmail in India then too?

Judging by the standard of paintwork, which is very good, but not outstanding, we are probably looking at a 6-7k figure.

I understand that he will eventually get his left arm and, as the famous quote goes, ""Of course it's got no legs ......it's a BUST" , but climbing up the rigging to the very top of the mast with a hook instead of one hand may be challenging even for a pirate. Nevertheless, great sculpt.

I like your pirate in the crow nest, which is of the right size, unlike some similar figures where the crow nest is ridiculously small. The only question is how he managed to get there being so severely disabled.

Great paintwork, and the illustration creates a dramatic context for it.

Superb, great job

EMI is actually 54 mm. Officer: https://www.ebay.fr/itm/EMI-MILES-MLC-12-INFANTRY-OFFICER-HOLLAND-SECOND-HALF-XVI-CENT-54mm-METAL/283011858391?hash=item41e4d23fd7:g:SAoAAOSwVK9bJiIy As Del said, you may also use figures from slightly different periods with a bit of conversion: EMI, 1550...

Borin Miniatures did a nice late-16th-c arquebusier: https://www.zinnfigur.com/en/By-Manufacturer/Borin-Models/Dutch-Arquebusier-1570.html EMI also had a couple of 16th-c figures (officer and musketeer), both are now OOP, but do appear on eBay. Good luck with your project, Sergei

The subject is great, and regrettably, so relevant to our days. Excellent idea with the head under the patched blanket.

Historical Ivan the Terrible: it is true that Ivan did not have a monopoly on violence. But nobody erects monuments to Charles IX, Henry VIII or Philip II or justify their violence. The situation with Ivan in Russia is different. And, whether we like it or not, this happens for political...

There is some chronological confusion here. The original post says that the bust represents Ivan during his Kazan campaign. Ivan took Kazan in 1552 and he sacked Novgorod in 1570. So, after the taking of Kazan Ivan would be smiling after killing the defenders of Kazan and demolishing their city...

It looks rough, but I kinda like it. Does not pretend to be "like alive" and it should not. After all, every figure is a piece of resin or metal.

If you are prepared to pay USD 174.95, it is available from eBay: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Verlinden-120mm-1-16-Emperor-Napoleon-I-Bonaparte-Mounted-on-Horseback-1083-/171001927737 Sergei

Stupid price and bizzare reaction to the bust of the only decent contemporary politician

There is some confusion here. I think I said that I was thinking about living and active person, so Mohammed Ali and Bob Marley were great, but are irrelevant here (and for those who care, I listen Bob Marley regularly). Sports and song charts have clear competition criteria (points, goals...

it is very easy. Just imagine a ranking of PF painters where you occupy the last place or not mentioned at all. But do not worry. It is all subjective!

Sounds like you are a football fan. Now I understand your perspective.

I find is very disrespectful to rank living and actively working sculptors.

Absolutely superb composition and execution. I usually ignore post WW-1 subjects, but this one is outstanding

Hi Paul, I will have the Elite miniatures Landschneckt £14.00, please. I will PM you the details. best, Sergei
