Which art-work for your next project?

[Landrotten Highlander]

I do not know if there is already a thread based on this question, so if one already exists I am more than happy for the moderators to merge this with the existing threads.

The thought appeared to me after reading the post about the crucifixtion of Saint whats-his-face (I forgot his name - which I read only 5 minutes ago so thanks for nothing memory) that some interesting products have been produced based on some beautiful paintings by various historical artists, but what would I want to see produced?

I came across this picture after reading about St. what-his-face, and I like it very much. Think it would make an interesting subject.
The painting depicts the mourning of the fall of Icarus

Love to hear your thoughts / ideas / inspirations...

I've recently gotten an Altores Studio knight taken from the famous Ghent Altarpiece by Jan van Eyck (1432) and would gladly see more examples of 15th Century painting put to miniature (like all the other characters in this retinue), however I won't touch on these until I've improved my painting substantially.

Also from Golem Miniatures their 80mm mermaid based on the famous Waterhouse painting which was inspired by the Tennyson poem, here beautifully painted by Donald Johansson.

I think more Pre-Raphaelite works could be made into miniatures. These would probably be of special interest to female modellers.

Nice pieces. Did you know that the Ghent Altarpiece is being restored to it's original condition, AND that the work has moved within the Cathedral to a more accessible position which makes all sides more visible at eye level? You can also see the images online (after restoration) in high detail on this website:

Flaming June by Leighton.I’d love to try those orange tones.
By the way, the actual picture is on display at the Royal Academy in London while in the U.K. for a short visit. So go see it while you can. I can assure you it’s well worth it!

Comme d'habitude, my interests appear out of step with the majority.
In an ideal world, a French '75' and crew c.1914, and a Union artillery piece with crew from the civil war would both be nice.
In 54mm.

This is definitely my next project to be done in 1/35 scale from this great artwork.

That will be one busy project.

It certainly will be, haven't finished the one's in front of me yet, but cut the walls for this one today.
