PM sent re the Castle busts

Seems to be inspired by this old Elisena figure.

The figure looks familiar, though I cannot immediately pinpoint its source. However, it’s clear there are recasts among their other products (Seil, Pegaso, Andrea).

Thanks for this interesting article, Andrew. These quotes clearly outline the current perspective: "The front of some shields may have been covered with leather" "Some surviving shields show evidence of paint (mineral pigments ground into an oil base) on the wood surface, suggesting that they...

Whether intentionally or not, you overlook the fact mentioned at the end of the article: the wooden surface of some shields was painted, indicating that the painting was meant to remain uncovered and visible. As a professional historian, I think it is important to consider all available facts...

The situation with Viking shields seems to be more complex than VerSacrum suggests, because, quite surprisingly, these items have remained largely understudied. Some shields may have been covered with leather, but others apparently were not, as their wooden surfaces still bear remnants of...

Great piece, though it is a pity that Knopfler is missing.

These are excellent and rare figures. EMI went out of business long ago, and it took me years to trace some of them, paying far more than these asking prices. I would have jumped on this list had it been posted seven or eight years ago.

Great figure, though it is a pity the doggy is missing.

Excellent addition to a very impressive collection

in theory, yes, but it would be useful to see some contemporary evidence

great pose and realistic body shape, but that sword behind his back is too Hollywood-esque. The sculptor should have tried to draw a sword placed behind their back.

It’s also refreshing to see a non-standard dynamic pose, as most 17th-century figures tend to replicate the familiar poses from military manuals.

They make together a great combination. I like the baggy chainmail on the new figure. Looks very natural and adds texture and depth.

That's why I like it!

I like his non-glamorous appearance—overweight, with a red face

hopefully nobody was raped while you were painting and possibly vaping:)

The figure looks good as far as it goes, though very different from the crisp digital simulation which was demonstrated earlier.

I like unfinished works

excellent work, and the anatomical oddities are a nice touch.
