This is great.

This looks bloody wonderful from where I am sitting!

You must be sitting next to me because it looks bloody wonderful from here too

If thats the case: Stop snoring!

You keep waking me up!




Blimey, a fella goes to work for a bit of peace and quiet, ya know!

The miniature used for the statue is a Ex Illis knight, I got mine free when buying the French wargame magazine Ravage years ago.

Oh my giddy aunt, that's good! 

I'm not sure how much Charles would like those French fleur de lys on his shield, but I guess we always knew he was a closet Papist! 

This is such a great looking project. 

[Alfrik]

Since the UFO is out and there is a hole there.........a couple of C.H.U.D.s having lunch in there? or maybe a cuthonian worm.....

Oh bugger!! I never even thought about that!! Ah well, I'm afraid the backs just as bad I've glued lion rampant in place!!



Hopefully this pictures better than the last....



And this is it on the part of the roundabout I've made...

What's CHUD? Don't worry I have ideas that I'm working on!

[gamer Mac]

That looks great
Not sure what it is supposed to be. But your thing looks just right.
Are you leaving the helmet on or replacing with a bare head?

[Andym]

It seems to be two arms, although I don't know why!

I think I'll just leave the helmeted head on, I don't think my sculpting skills can stretch to making a proper 28mm Charles I!!

Arms were quite common in heraldry but I'll ask one of my mates in the regiment and see if he knows.

Looks great though 

cheers

Cannibalistic Humanoid Underground Dweller

Or, more pertinantly, think of "the Man" in Death Line

Perhaps you could leave it headless.  It'd be appropriate.

This may seem like a daft question, but why not use one of the models of Charles I that are commercially available (eg from Bicorne or Warlord)?

[Andym]

The French knight was just a model I had lying around I was never going to use! It saved me trying to buy anything! (money's tight with a wedding planned for next year!)

BTW , I've never heard of any of those films!!!!!

Cheers James! I meant to ask as well, this is the picture I've got for the back of the statue, what the hell is that supposed to be? Is that a lion on one side and a dog on the other?

Unicorn

Unicorn

With a crown on a chain round its neck (while the lion has a crown on its head).  These are still the supporters of the Royal arms.

This nice clear photo claims to be Chuck One's arms from 1634:

Note the metal genitals!  Perhaps they've been playing strip billiards.
