Superb.   I have to remind myself that this is not 28mm - then you realise
just how good this is.

Well done & looking forward to seeing more please !

He's rather nicely turned out.

I didn't realise that he's only 10mm! Superb work and you've even painted his eyes :o

You missed a bit.


Only joking, Eric. Superb, indeed!

Eyes! Eyes! (Les yeux!) In 10mm. Je surrendre.

I'll second the 'you've even painted the eyes!' comment. Are you sure you've not just not done an average paintjob on a 28mm figure to fool us? ;) Really wonderful figure.

Outstanding, especially when you consider that the image is about four times the size of the actual figure!

They are really nice - both the painting and the sculpts.

Superb.

I am desperately trying to avoid the LOA figures while I finish off my Seven Years
War project.   One army nearly finished - then its on to the colourful Frenchies.

Horever, this getting harder to do given the quality of both the figures and painting
they seem to attract.

Just one year to go then its off to the LOA !

Nice. Two questions; did you add a beard to the pointing figure? Is that an eye I see in the lens of the telescope? :)
