Preview: 19th Scale Crossbowman Bust for Frank Miniatures.

[carl reid]

Hi Guys,

Here is a piece I just completed for Frank Miniatures.

As you can see it depicts a 15th-16th Century Crossbowman.

Frank is hoping to launch him at Ingolstadt (Prince of Bavaria show) this year.

As always thanks for looking, and I hope you like him.

Superb Mr Reid....as always.......only for personal taste....I would have preferred his right arm to be complete....still a very nice change from the usual subjects.....and it don't look like a Huron either

Now thats disappointing Ron, I was actually going for The famous Huron Crossbowmen militia, allied to the French at the battle of Crecy.... LOL

Anyway glad you like buddy!

Very nice work Carl, as always. I especially like how you have sculpted the arms on this one. A very novel idea.

 

[DEL]

Definitely like this one Carl. Looking forward to seeing it at Ingolstadt.
I like the unusual way you've tackled the arms and the crossbow, reminds me of your bronze Jazz musicians.
Cheers

.....and it don't look like a Huron either

Oh I don't know Ron the ears are probably a bit Huronesque

For SURE that has to be a Huron!! Just look at his fingers!! LOL Dave

 

[carl reid]

Cheers chaps! Glad you like him!

It is a little different, but I think it works quite well.

Your right Del, it is similar to the musicians i did. I quite like that look, without being too contemporary. I think it kind of straddles traditional and contemporary without being too controversial.

Hi Samson,

I'm sure if an American inch is different, but it's approximately 4 imperial inches, including the plinth.

Hm - I do not know, somehow it seems to me strangely familiar, the attitude, the face - I've seen it before - Hm - ah I know as a novelty on FB!

Great and it increases the anticipation of Ingo immensely!

For some strange and perverted reason! I would actually really quite like to see that! .. plus feathers of course. So there is no argument as regards this pieces identity!

High Regards,
