MacBeth

[Ronaldo]

I am looking for a MacBeth figure which I think was sculpted by Cliff Sanderstone think he also done a Conquistador which was an absolute gem .
can anyone throw light on this subject.

Ron, have a look on Bonaparte's webshop, the figure you want was by Keith Durham , I think, and was in 70mm. They still certainly list it, anyway....happy hunting. It's £32.00.

Cheers, Alan

Both really nice looking figures by Poste Militaire originally and as Alan says a couple sculpted by Julian Hullis.
Here's one on eBay (Not mine, just spotted whilst trawling)
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Poste-mi...846621?hash=item4b846656dd:g:mZYAAOSwwNVfkPxu
Expensive IMO

Here's the link to the Bonapartes page with both figures listed for £32.00 -

If its the 120mm left handed version of a Highland King it was I think by Pete Morton.
The moulds have moved through a few companies but is long OOP.
Its a belter if you can get it.
If it was a Cliff Sanderston it would have a nude woman on his shoulders

Never saw the Pete Morton version Del

There was also a '54' by Durandel similar in pose to the PM one (I did have one, but sold it on here I think a couple of years ago)

Here's Ray's masterclass on his version of the figure.

Thanks Del , quite interesting and I guess going back a few years ' wouldn't be my choice of colours as all to bright . I am going to take a Snadd approach to this one with subdued colours ; think I will do the cloak in black as the base has been ready for this guy for a couple of years in very subdued shades of grey as I want the whole piece to be glum .
I believe he was not the bastard that Shakespeare portrayed and that Mc Duff was the real fucker .

I have had this figure. so long I have lost a few parts IE scabbard ,nose ,guard and shield and its been stripped a few times but getting it the way I like now .

Probably my favourite depiction of Macbeth was a piece by Stan Cheffey.
Must be going back near on thirty years ago.
Depicts him sitting on a rock post battle and a raven pecking at bits of flesh stuck to his shield.
I've searched high and low for a photo but have never found one.
I think it might have featured in a Military Modelling mag from about that time.

Where can I get a 75 to 80mm raven ,even a big crow would do

 

[DEL]

Could try Mantis Miniatures.
If you don't plan on spread wings should be easy enough to do in putty

I remember that. Stan did some belters. Remember the mounted Mongol in the snow with the dead hare across his saddle? Is he still about?

It was one of my favourites all those years ago at Euro a brave piece with the snow right up to the steppes horses belly. Haven't heard or seen anything from him in years.

It was actually in Military Illustrated (Aug. '96), and formed part of a write-up on Stan.
The title of the piece was 'Thegn of Cawdor'.
