Hello P.F. people
Here one my new realization in 54mm.
It's a Indian imperial guard 17° century

He looks good, but some others photos little bit large, with others angles help me to see
how is it really.

hello,
nice piece..
one comment - the bow case and the sword cannot cross in this way. The bow case usually was slung over the sword,. In your position, with strung oriental bow, the bowstring would get in the way.
And you cannot put the sword passing through the strung bow, the sword could damage the bowstring and prevent the owner from drawing the bow quickly...
Also bowcase in the ready to be drawn position. Normally, in the rest position, both the quiver and the bow case would have their openings towards the rear. This was the practice ever since the Central Asian Iranian and Turkut (old Turks)nomads had adopted a separate bowcase and separate quiver for their archery equipment, slung on the oposing sides of the body... Your guard seems to be at rest...
I am sure you can easlily swing things around

The Indian Army is one of my favorite subjects and this is a period that has not been sculpted often. I enjoy your work and wonder if there is any chance this will be a comercial release? I would love to paint it and add it to my collection.
