Mummy, who is that strange man over there?
« on: January 31, 2023, 11:56:12 PM »
"Why that's ****** ********, the famous one man band"
"What's a one man band, mummy?"
"It's one man and he's banned from every pub in ********"

(Names deleted to protect the 'innocent'  ;)

I *needed* a bard for my warbands and nobody did what I wanted so LAF's own Tin Shed stepped in and I'm delighted with what Mark sculpted. A quickie colouring in......

Mark posted this over at The Society of Hysterical Wargamers. It is indeed well sculpted and the painting is top notch Dags. You must be proud as heck.

Beautiful sculpt.  When I read the title all I could think of was: 
A bottle of scotch and two aspirin a day will greatly reduce your awareness of heart disease.

It won't be in a shop. I don't have the time, inclination,  bank balance or complete lack of sanity to want to start a miniatures company! But, like all my occasional vanity figures, it has been moulded and I've got a few copies in white metal. This one will be off to ****** ******** as soon as it's had another coat of varnish, one will be going back to Mark and I'll paint a couple for myself to go with my Saga and Frostgrave bands. That means I do have a couple of castings spare which I'm more happy to let folks have to help offset the moulding/casting costs.

The Subject took great offence when someone on FB thought it looked like Bill Oddie  lol

Think he'd be slightly less offended by that comparison.

It's actually based (and is a dead ringer) on a mate who works in the miniatures industry and is a bit of a muso on the side  ;)

Holy moly, what a figure Mark sculpted and how great it turned out with your paint on 'im.


I joined my gun with pirate swords, and sailed the seas of cyberspace.
