Headless Shakespearean actor
« on: 07 February 2011, 08:13:17 PM »
A model I got from my friend Millmir this weekend, can't express enough how much I love this sculpt!
Originally part of a "Gollums" blister containing 4 models, from the West Wind Gothic Horror range.

More pictures from all angles on my blog  :)

I've always liked that figure as well.  You've done a great job on him, although it's kind of strange to see him out of his usual ghostly white or grey.   :)

It's reminiscent of an old Citadel figure with a similar pose and theme happening. You've really done this one justice though. Love it!

Saw this on your blog yesterday and was extremely impressed (as was my son).  You've really brought it to life!

Thanks guys  :)

I have one more odd model from the same blister which I hope will turn out just as good.

Well done, indeed!

However, it leaves me wishing a 'mostly headless' version.  lol
