"Back I Say!"

Just thought that I would share this before he is packed off.  I suppose you could call him my first commission, but when I was asked by the 'Provost Marshal' if I could paint up this 'Bolt Action' miniature as a gift for a colleague of his, then how could I refuse?  There were, however, a few required specifications that had to be adhered to.  The first, a greying beard, then a Royal Military Police cap and if possible the addition of a Priest's stole!  







Well never one to shy away from a challenge here was the result and I have to say that I will be sorry to see him go!  It was really great fun to do with the stole been made from a piece of foil, trimmed and folded into place.  Apparently destined for a serving Army Chaplain's desk!

  3. Thank you all; enjoying a couple of lazy days after the Christmas celebrations, but hope to get a couple more pieces of the painting table before the New Year.

  4. Lovely paintjob.
    I assume the fig is originally from a WWII range so why would he hold the cross like that??
    Cheers

  7. That is a great present for someone of the cloth, especially a chaplain. Wonderfully painted and based, a total winner.

  8. A great figure, well done. I am intrigued to know what sort of gaming he'll be used for. Looks like some kind of vampire bashing?
