Cheers Raptor glad you like him, Nap cheers mate in answer to your questions. I'm looking into the box art at the moment that's all I can say. as to the base we have had a number of requests for the base so I think we might do something with it separate from the bust. we have had a good response to the bust from the fantasy side of the hobby which is good.
The armour is based on a piece from the royal armouries and is from the period and something Vlad could have worn on campaign. it was light and flexible. being a captive of the Ottomans for quite some time he would have seen the merits of this kind of armour, and their for quite reasonable to have him represented in this form of armour. It's also nice to have lots of different textures to paint on this bust looking forward to seeing him painted.
