Late C17th resurrection :) (Page 2 - witchfinder, dog, gentlemen etc)

Splendid

The baby-eating Bishop of Munster, from the North Star 1672 range (a Steve Saleh sculpt I believe), accompanied by his faithful otter hound - which is another of Mr. Atter's wonderful 'Dagshounds'. Sniffing out heretics and apostates!

The 1672 is made by Mark Copplestone, Sir Riccardo. Another started thing he never finished. Great work from your hands, You are still one of the big ones.

Lovely.   

[bigredbat]

Yes- absolutely super!

[Dags]

Great stuff - always love seeing the hounds painted; makes my day 

[Captain Blood]

Thanks.

Your hounds are lovely, Jon, and a pleasure to paint

Thank you Dirk

Yes, Mark Copplestone launched the 'Glory of the Sun' range and took it half way. But when North Star took it over from him and rebranded it to 'North Star 1672', I believe Nick brought in Steve Saleh to finish off the range.
So while most of the original infantry and command packs are by Copplestone, the cavalry, artillery and character / civilian packs, as well as some of the later infantry packs, were sculpted by Steve Saleh

Very nice 
I must say, Steve Saleh is my favourite  sculptor these days,his work is unmistakable.

[Captain Blood]

Thanks Guy.

I agree with you about Steve. Not sure he really put his heart and soul into churning out rank and file 1672 packs quite to the extent that he has done since for his own inspired Lucid Eye ranges. But he has a lovely and distinctive style, as you say, and always gets bundles of spot-on character into every figure he creates.
(I think he's actually very much like Mark Copplestone in that regard )

Lovely job on those full of character

A fact I missed, but it tells me why I loved parts of the range more. Copplestone is the Nicolas Cage of the Tin SCene, staying in one pose. Maybe the reason why he never drives his range over a certain point. Did Steve Saleh more 17thC for other companies? I love his figures and would expand my started stuff.

[Captain Blood]

No, I don’t think he did any more historical period stuff, other than a couple of ranges (ancient Greeks etc) for Foundry. If you look at his own very prolific output for his Lucid Eye brand, it runs mainly through fantasy, pulp, adventure, MesoAmerica, Atlantis, and so on. I don’t think traditional historical periods and genres are really his area of interest He seems much more inspired and productive when it comes to the imaginary settings that are now his main focus.

Lovely painting Richard.
