Thanks Leman - I will check it out.
Somebody does a 15mm 3 Musketeers range and the Cardinal in that might also be appropriate.

It was medieval  leader with a Bishop's mitre hat, shield on the back and a cross held aloft in the right hand. Craig gave me a few FoC and whilst a lovely figure, not suitable for a Cardinal I'm afraid.

I still don't remember that one.....I trawled through some old pics, and found a couple that I'd made for 'Tiny Terrain'......But then, I don't save photo's of every single model I've made.
Bad enough going through the ones I HAVE kept.  ;D ;D ;D

Well if you used a digital camera Phil you could file them on your lap top, alhough that would only apply to the most recent ones, 90% would have required etecing into stone tablets

I still find it vexing that the results from (a number of) smart phones give better results than my all singing all dancing digital SLR.

Fair enough... I don't set it up to its ultimate level....and use a tripod....that's too much hassle. ;)

Cheers - Phil.

One of the laser guys had an awesome bit of kit the other day, it's a USB microscopic camera which can get between 50x-100x magnification.  He'd plugged it into his phone to show the detail/resolution on some 3D prints he'd done at home and I was amazed at the level of detail this little camera could pick up.

I'd never had the slightest desire to have a cardinal figure until I read this thread, then:
when I discovered there wasn't one that looked like that Richelieu or Mazarin available I really wanted one.
So:

I obviously won't be bothering any of the sculptors or painters here, but I like him.

(how the heck do people sculpt things this small! My eyesight deteriorated rapidly and my fingers grew into Cumberland sausages the moment I mixed the putty! I thought 15mm was bad enough.)

Well done! Having experimented a little with the green stuff myself of late it is very fiddly work at this scale.

That's pretty damn good !!

Well done, that man.  :-bd
