At the weekend I painted the new TACTICA miniature...Lettow-Vorbeck. A big compliment to Frank Germershaus who modelled it:

A superb figure and a premium paintjob - very, very good.
The figure is an absolute must have for me this year at TACTICA.

Fantastic painting on a fantastic figure (and great photography, too).

Lovely...  :-*

Hope one can get one without visiting Tactica, which I would love to do, but just can't make it.

Nifty figure and great paintjob.  That's an unusually small holster though, isn't it?  He won't be satisfying any inferiority complexes with that;)

Dare I say, me four. Who do I need to sell my soul to?

Very nice paintwork indeed, saved for future inspiration.

One could not do paint him better than that! Deepest respect, Sir. Was once garrisoned in Lettow-Vorbeck barracks, Hamburg, Germany. Thanks for that one!!!

Beautiful brushwork on a lovely design miniature. Really captures the character of the man himself in photos and reading his diary.

Lovely work,

Very good sculpt; quite excellent painting.   :)

I imagine there will be great demand for this figure and it's Ebay value will be high.  I would certainly be in the market to obtain one too.
