The bus stop is in reference to the old bailey sketch where they have to catch the bus right at the end of the episode to try to get there before the credits finish. I know it's a little random but then thats Monty Python summed up in a word, random :)

Amongst your weaponry are such diverse elements as ... nice deep reds, and a sensitivity to the facial likenesses of the sculpts.

Cheers guys.

I will say one thing, I was unable to photographs Cardinal Fang's scroll as I had painted the word charges across the top and then a numbered list down, you can just about make it out in his closeup photo.......just couldnt get the angle on it to photograph it.

The two things I like about this piece are the correct attributes, the bus stop sign and the great painting.

Three!! Three things I like about your work there are the pillows, the scroll, the sign and the obvious element of surprise it possesses.

DOH!! I'll come in again...

[DRAMATIC CHORD]

Hahaah!!

No really; since the first time I saw those miniatures over at Victoria Lamb's site, I knew I had to have them!

You've done them proud; the painting is excellent, the setting is just right, and (through the sculpting in addition to your painting skills of course), I have to say the faces are just that bit cartoony, but still recognizable as the Monty Python actors.

In short; I love it! 8)

Now for a comfy chair...  :D
