Great brushwork Keith on Hookie. He certainly looks the part and well done to Empress Miniatures for the upcoming set.

Wow, first off, top-notch painting. Great job. Secondly, that's just about the best sculpt of a "movie/real" person I've ever seen. Can't wait to see the others.

Saw this over on the SD forum. Very nicely painted and as I said there, I'll be buying one. Regardless of Historical accuracy as he will only end up fighting Martians and Prussians!  ;D

Splendid sculpting and painting, both.

And while it does indeed look like James Booth, there's also more than a hint of a resemblance to Harry H Corbett.  If I ever work up the nerve to convert up an Inspector Bung or 'Arold Steptoe, I know where to start.

I can't resist this, so....

you dirty old man!   lol

You are right though, he does look a lot like Harry H as well as Mr Booth.

Great painting by Keith of a superb figure and I can't wait to see Stanley Baker!

When I first opened the thread I thought it was a larger scale figure. I take it is 28mm, being empress?
