Preview 75mm 92 Gordon Highlander 1880's

[MalcC]

Gobsmacked. Wish I could paint as fast as you sculpt and as well

Brilliant! I still have your Crimean Highlander in 75mm on the work bench (buggered up the paint on the tunic and need to strip it off and start over), and I can't see how I can avoid ordering this one as well. Will ask for cash this Christmas!

You're killing me Carl!!! Mrs. Santa has threatened me within an inch of my life!!! I'm still figuring how to get the Zouave bust past her! Very nice sculpt!!! You are a creative machine!!!

Hello Carl, This is a very beautiful, and stunning piece. I remember Bill Horan's version when he first did his. I like how you have added your own special touches to this version. I would also agree with Del, and Brian, about display. In my opinion, when you have a figure/bust, that looks great from more than one angle, a round base could solve the problem. Remember the battery operated spinning round bases, that many people made fun of??? I think it would work for this excellent figure by Carl, especially in competitions, and shows. My favorite type of round bases, or round plinth type bases, are the type that have a recessed circle in the middle, great for helping build up your groundwork: Outstanding workmanship on your new figure Carl, I really like it. Regards, SG

This is really going to fly. Fingers crossed that the quality of the metal casting lives up to that of the sculpting.

A great pose and just the sort of work we now expect from the talented Carl Reid. His work just keeps getting better and better.
