Evening all
Just finished this fella (There's also a thread showing some work in progress shots for those interested)
Approximately 60mm high and cast in resin. The casting wasn't the best if I'm honest, but the pose and face are excellent. Once I'd decided to press on with it I really enjoyed it (which is kind've the object of the exercise isn't it?)
I didn't like the musket hanging over the shoulder which seemed like it was bound to pitch him onto his face no matter where it was fitted so I carved off the strap and made good with putty. I also altered the anatomy of the chest and shoulder areas slightly and added a new top rail to the fence to give him a proper obstacle. Painted in acrylics (as well as my usual Vallejo and Andrea I've started to use the new Scale 75 tube paints which I really like)
Cheers
Paul
