Wow !
Haaated the movie, but looove the sculpt.
-
That first picture makes him look a little bit long of torso and short of leg. Less obvious in the second picture though. I'll be happy to take your word for it if you say I'm wrong. :)
-
That's a nice one!
Any clue when they are to release him and under which label? Honestly, never heard of this company before. :o
-
Oh...isnt that Gel Mibson from that historical totally correct movie about the AWI that was directed by a German ?
Nice sculpt :D
-
Beautiful figure! He would be ideal for the new Gloire supplement.
Mel Gibson - who needs history, just write your own!
Twonk lol
-
Brilliant figure. Must buy one if only to shoot it ;)
Are there plans to do any of the other film characters?
-
Looking good! But how does he fit in with the Quar? 8)
-
are they going to do any more like his son?
-
Hmmmm....
This + "Among the War Parties" = A Good Thing.
Lovely figure. I wonder how he'll mix with the Conquest F&IW stuff???
-
I can't wait to buy and paint him so I can make him die a horrible slow death a la Colonel Crawford.
-
That first picture makes him look a little bit long of torso and short of leg.
So historically accurate for a Mel Gibson figure, no ? :)
Great figure, but I have to get your arabs first.

Ha!
I've gotten some mail about this this morning. So, here's the story:
However you feel about the a certain movie, it was filmed in my back yard, literally. I grew up in South Carolina and they filmed this in and around my home town. There are a couple of scenes that take place on land we used to own.
A lot of my friends were ACW reenactors and the production company slurped some of them up to be extras in the film. Muskets are muskets, right? They had a lot of fun. A few weeks ago I was talking to one of them and he had mentioned that after all these years some of them had finally gotten into gaming. I had tried to prod them into it when I still lived near them and they have finally learned that running around in the woods with muskets is a younger man's game. Dice are so much less work.
So I commissioned tidyfiguremaker to do this sculpt so I could cast it up and send a bunch of them home to my old buddies. I'll most likely start selling it in late July. I'd like to get them theirs first!

I need a "Patriot" figure for my planned swamp fighting. Is this figure commercially available? I could not find it on Zombiesmith webpage?
-
must have ,no other way :)
-
very nice and inspiring sculpt

not necessarily anatomically incorrect, I think one could describe Mel Gibson that way too ;)

Ooh Josh he is very nice :-*

Sorry, never got around to selling him, I can though!
Just e-mail me, or pm me.
-
Didnīt like the movie, donīt like Gibson. But I love the sculpt! :)
-
Nice sculpt but doesn't look quite drunk or anti-semitic enough to be a decent likeness.
-
don't remember him drunk in the movie...
-
Like this?

I suppose you could always sculpt Mel with a copy of the Protocols of the Elders of Zion in his hands. His bizarre pro-monarchy stance you could proably cover off with a small crown or sceptre.
-
why don't we just stay with the movie, his character in the movie and it's period? :)
-
You are a very literal minded chap aren't you former user?
-
Carlos, former user, please feel free to have a discussion about Mel and his political tendencies but only via PM. Thanks!

sorry :(
