What a wonderful bust and Kaz has done an outstanding job in such a superb paint job for the box art.
Very well done to sculptor and painter.

About the title " The world in their hands" I can accept that, as people have failed to point out that ships of Spain explored the Pacific and actually sent treasure and goods regularly back to Spain, sailing from Manila (hence the Manila Galleon) to the East Coast of Central America, The goods were then sent overland before being shipped to Spain. This trade starting in 1655 fairly puts Spain into the being the leading trading nation, as at that time it spread from Europe to the Phillipines. I dont think anyone else could claim such a Military and trading spread of power at that time.
So " The world in their hands" it is for me.
Outstanding bust.

I like the title "The World in Their Hands". These guys, both the, Brits and the Spanish, were sailing around the world at that time and taking what ever they pleased. Not politically correct by today's standards but accurate. I suppose you could call him "Elizabethan Privateer" but it just doesn't have the same ring to it.

I took the figure out of the box yesterday and gave it good look. Very nice work! Can't wait to put it together.
