It's a very nice kit. Despite being a rather small scale is very well painted. Perfectly evokes the lonely man of the mountain, whose life is hard but living in complete freedom.
Guy, I'll bet your favorite movie is "Jeremiah Johnson. "

Yes, it is one of my favorites along with "The Mountain Men" with Charlston Heston and Brian Keith. Both are great movies.

 

[Edorta]

Oh yes, I forget " The mountain men", the story of the two beloved trappers and the indian woman. I love that film. In Spain was called " El valle de la furia" ( The fury valley). I still don´t know why, here changes the titles of the foreign movies.

Saw the original at MFCA...will surely be joining the gray army. It would have then if it had been available!

I was fortunate enough to receive the first production copy of this kit. Between Sergey's phenomenal sculpting and the excruciatingly difficult but highly successful mold making and casting by Mark Mindeman, this figure paints much like a 54. All three components were well defined and a joy to do. Well done, gents!

Very keen to see this, would really like to give it a go but need to get a sense of scale. Hopefully see it at Euro.
Cheers

Scale is 40mm...

I have finished the animals and just got to painting the face of the trapper. There are DISTINCT, WELL DEFINED EYEBALLS on the face. Mother McCree, I don't know which man to be most in awe of, Sergey for sculpting them or Mark for successfully casting them when simple holes and brows would probably done the job. Unbelievable miniature art!
