Mounted Mongol

[Roc]

This is an old Verlinden figure painted a few years ago, our friend Guy asked me to post it.

This is for you Guy.

Cheers,

Roc.

Super Job Roc........my favorite Verlinden. You have done an excellent job with him. Many thanks for posting the pictures. I have one painted as well and have another kit to be used in a vignette.

Thanks Roc

Hi Roc,
Very nicely painted, I managed to pick this one up at
Euromilitair as a show offer from Historex.

I look forward to painting it (when I can fit it in)

Roco, you surprise me every day I open this forum in my computer

 

[Roc]

Frank, thank you for the nice words of encouragement, I really do appreciate them.

It's great to hear you picked one up at Euro,you will have a lot of fun painting this figure and it does not cost an arm and a leg.

I would very much like too see your version of the Mongol, when you get around to it.

Keep up the good work.

Cheers,

Roc.

Asta luego,

Roc.

Hey Roc , honestly , this figure is not one of my favourites. Nonetheless, you have made a great job of it. In situations like these one proves to be an excellent painter

Frank, so you did spend that £15 in the end ! Well, I look forward to see your version too .

Roc and Guy, nice work. Wasn't this figure sculpted by Julian Hullis?

Hi Johan,
I just could not resist a bargain

Take care my friend

Frank

 

[Roc]

Stephen,mio amico, grazie per i complimenti, aprezzo molto la tua opinione.


Ciao,

Roc.

 

[Roc]

Johan, thank you, you are too kind.

I'm not sure who sculpted this figure,Verlinden never divulges the names of the sculpters, it certainly does look like Julian Hullis's work.


Cheers,

Roc.

Roc, I once saw the original Mongol "watching the steppes" figure by Julian Hullis at Euromilitaire - it was a great creation and elected best of show that year. It was beautifully painted in faded pastel colours, I believe the coat was pale green or blue.

Frank, so it's the Irresistible Mongol then ! :lol: I hope you will put your mongol where he belongs, on the steppe, so here's a tip for some good steppe, prairie or pampa grass :

I remember that figure well, that was one of Julien's best sculptures,truly a work of art.
