Bonaparte's Mongol (1/9th?)

[roadking]

​

This is the last thing that will be done before MFCA. This is a piece that is for Chuck Robinson and is WAY overdue. I hope he likes it.

The kit is an old Bonaparte's kit and after looking at their website it seems to no longer be available. I think it is a beautiful kit. The groundwork was part of the kit so it is a simple piece to paint. I have more detail work to do on the figure (fur, belts, armor, etc.) and am in the process of painting the bowcase, sword and arrow quiver. For some reason their are no laces on the armor and I will be adding those with a thickened paint technique. I will post some pics once it is done.

Enjoy!

Excellenty work Jim. I have this figure stashed away in the closet. Lots of detail. I look forward to seeing how you complete it.

Thanks Guy, I highly recommend you get it out and tackle it. Don't forget to add lacing to the armor plates on his shoulders and do something about the horrible sword that came with the kit.

Thanks Gordy.
