Finally finished this Elan13 (54mm) Cavalier.
I chose the pistol option over the sword and, following a fine suggestion by Paul (DaddyO), went for a wine drinker (rather than apple eater).
The gabions are castings of an old scratchbuilt item I made a good while ago.
The five bottles are scratchbuilt from brass tubing, milliput and fine wire.
The left hand is a casting of the original, with the apple removed and the fingers re-built over the bottle.
Painting was a mixture of Humbrol Enamels, oils, Printers inks and Darkstar molten metals.
The original kit had a ditty to go with his sword-wielding pose, so I went for my own variation for the drunken pistol packing fellow.
This is the label that I've put on the base:-
Hope you like my efforts.
Cheers,
Andrew
