You know, if truth be told the waistcoat was relatively easy (I'd been dreading it). It was just random swirls put on with brown ink. The trouser checks, however, took years off me.

That is fantastic, both in sculpt and in paint scheme. So much detail on him...  :o

Trust me to miss the real effort and see only the 'shiny'.....
The troos are, of course, quality work.
I was just dazzled by the flash weskit.

If you look at the picture of his trolleys on Deadwood, the little squares are about a quarter the size. I rapidly decided to fornicate that for a game of soldiers. Even so, line after bleedin' line, trying to match them up ... it makes my eyes go wrong.

The waistcoat was quick and easy and gets all the glory!

Really is a lovely paint job cubs. Hats off to you.  :D

Cracking paint job, well done indeed.
I am not so sure about the sculpt though, the pistol looks a little odd.

If it was my own model I'd be tempted to take that middle sight off and just smooth out the transition to the barrel a tad on top.

I think it's safe to say the Paul is a new master of textile patterns and flashy dudes' duds!
