Alex,

I also highly recommend this figure. I painted it last year and it was a pure joy. Seem lines are almost non-existent. I used acylics ( Andrea, vallejo, Ceramcoat, Jo Sonja, Folkart, Chalk and watercolors). The pose is wonderful. That is what attracted me to the figure. Here's mine finished.

Model On!

I had a blast painting this figure! I did have lots of problems keeping the hands attached to the arms. These pieces proved to be far too small to pin, so I'd recommend using some JB-Weld to attach these. Definitely lots of character in this piece. You'll definitely enjoy it.

I'm doing this figure right now. I replaced the blade with one hammered out from brass rod. I left a tang on the handle end and drilled a hole into the handle. I'm about to paint the piping which is a little intimidating. It's a terrific figure.
