Fabulous paintjob! The skin and leather are excellent painted.

 

[Figure Mad]

Well Mr Farrugia

What an amazing piece, I am really loving this, I must admit I never thought of using lead foil as the material for leather, a good tip I think, on a great conversion.

As with most good conversions they look better than the original, I am not saying that the sculpting by John Rosengrant is bad, just restricted to being able to take the casting process into account, whereas when converting for your own collection, there is always more scope.

Damned impressive conversion with some beautiful painting to top it off, I really would have loved this as a commercial piece.......just great

Just as another pointer Ray, do you not think he looks like he could have been Wyatt Earp, just by changing the hat to a stetsan.........hm interesting
