Thank you, I have the same reference photos but I was put off the braiding on the gloves, so kept it simple.

Superb Bob. I've got this in the GA and will shamelessly copy this when I get around to it!

I wish some of the others were in my GA. It's a cracking one piece sculpt and holds its own with today's standards.
Thank you for the coment and for looking

Cracker Bob one of your best I've really got to get myself one of these.

Glasgow is a real cowboy and indian (native american) city. Those of us of a certain age love cowboy films and the stories surrounding his visits to the city are wonderful. These include the entire Indian contingent of his show being invited to a civic reception and dinner at the city chambers. Several of the 'indians' ending up in Barlinnie Prison after a classic Glasgow bar brawl
The best one is that one of the indians (Crazy Horses cousin, Kicking Bear) stayed in digs in Dennistoun and 'took' up with the landlady (a practice followed by many of a university student in my day, sure beat paying rent ) http://www.snbba.co.uk/1891.html

Thanks for that Del.
Through my own stupidity, I got some metal filings into my left eye a few days ago and have been "mettre hors d'usage", and feeling sorry for myself ever since.
Your post and a four finger dose of Chivas Regal provided a rapid cure.

I got this one from E-bay about a week ago, I have always wanted to paint this one and when I saw Daddy O's version, I had to buy and paint it.
Face in oils and the rest in acrylics.
the poster used was resized in photoshop and printed on plain printing paper and the face was coated in thinned white glue.
Thanks for looking.

That's a really well done figure! Congrats on such a fine paint job.
And he would "fit" right in with my present project.
Time to check out Historex Agents stock - yet again...
