28mm fig from Design 28 available through Black Pyramid Gaming. Like all the miniatures in this line Gen. Gordon was a treat to paint. The object on his back puzzles me. I can't tell if its a smokestack or a mortar supported by the shoulder and chest armour. Thoughts?

Its a small engine that keeps his heart beating after it was run through with a fuzzy's spear. :D
Figure looks great. I'll have to check this company out.

Oh, good gosh, I'd completely forgotten about Lord Fecitt as well!
Thanks so much for the cranial nudge!!

Now that gives me an idea for a Clive's Register article... anyone want to write one up on Gordon? The idea that he survived the Sudan thanks to a nick of time intervention (from Her Majesty's Skywalkers. perhaps?) and radical medical care... Sort of like Iron Man/Tony Stark's electromagnet. Kinda cool.

That would be my guess!
Great work.

General Gordon - thats my local boy! (Gravesend)

Justin is right. It is a small smokestack for the machine keeping him alive.
My original idea was he was kept alive and smuggled out by a secret agents in Khartoum. The agents then left a suitable replacement for the mahdi's men and even though he was given the opportunity to retire he decided to become a british agent instead.
The model originally had him holding the spear that had 'killed' him. But I used it on another Gordon I never got round to finishing.
