Excellent sculpting Andrew. Not a subject we see a lot of today.

Molodec. Lovely sculpt, the miniature looks its part. I love the pose and the stout figure of the man. You could add another large feather to the barret to make it look even more flamboyant.

I understand the 'katzbalger' sword is unfinished yet. The cross guard has still to be brought into its characteristic S-shape. Will it be cast this way and left for the modeller to bend it himself? Obviously, there could be moulding problems otherwise.

Nice work Andrew..that is a great looking landsknecht.

Lovely work on the drapery, both where it is tight and also loose, and a good solid pose too.

All the best...

Roy.

You are right. The S-shape will be made later.
