I have been waiting since forever for the works of the Master of Masters, Albrecht Durer , to be "translated" in 54mm miniatures and now Chronos makes a dream come true.Thank you Chronos!!!!

Oda.

 

[Reptor]

Superb figurine! The topics treated by Chronos are really very interesting and unusual, a pleasure in the universe of the miniature !

 

[CHRONOS]

Thanks for your words.

We made in tin additional wheels (1/30) from this figure. We can sell you these wheels separately if they are necessary to you for your works.

 

[OldTaff]

Terrific sculpt, and looks to be in 75mm as well as 54mm ! Huzzah !

 

[Blind Pew]

This is without doubt a superb it. Well done again guys.

 

[TERRYSOMME1916]

That's a very nice figure in every way and I am sure that he will turn up paired with other figures to create some very interesting little scenes, so 75mm figure painters lets see what you can do!

I hope there is a vendor in Rosalie who sells this figure. I will go for the 75mm.

Marc: I have many kits from Chronos with me in Rosalies and got the last order some days ago, but that is to new. No chance for Rosalies

To the musician actually belongs a dancing couple of peasants - also by Albrecht Dürer ...:



Would be great, if there were still ...

Lovely idea, lovely sculpting and great to see some non-military figs* (tho' I must admit that I'd rather see the original tree than the wheel). Martin's suggestion of adding the dancers makes sense (AD did a whole series of peasants, so an entire village is possible).

Durer has always been one of my favourite artists and, as others have said, a rich source of inspiration (I tend to prefer drawing/woodcuts etc to paintings, including LdeV's drawings and both Breugels: all sources of interesting, if sometimes grotesque, inspiration).

*tho' Durer also drew plenty of them: one of his drawings was the prototype for my 2nd ever (lousy) kit-bash 40+ years ago (I'd be ashamed to show it here).

That figure could easily pass as a Mountain Man of Scottish of ancestry . I like it

That's right Terry !
For the same reason you mention, I suppose the choice of 54mm is the best one.

Really nice and unusual

To make such tree in metal or in resin, it is essential to increase the set price.
I think that it will not be difficult to make a tree independently. And the wheel is always useful to the good master)).

Yes, I realise that (tho' it could be moulded hollow in two halves, and, yes, it's easy to fabricate a tree... or even use a real branch/twig), it's just that I find the half axle approach a bit strange.

IT'S JUST A PERSONAL PREFERENCE... overall I think the idea and figure are great.

BTW: I had thought of having a go at the dancers but it looks like you've beaten me to it.
