Castle Falkenstien, Victorian Wizard

[Governor General]

From Castle Falkenstien, the Victorian Wizard. This fig has been haunting the lead pile since the 90s. It was a lot of fun to paint, did it from start to finish yesterday. . I can see it as the head of a masonic lodge or the grand master of an esoteric order. I still have a few Falkenstien figs left, buried deep in lead mountain.

Nice work. Suits the setting!

Love it!

For some reason, given a hat, I think he'd also look fine in Anhk-Morpork. 

From my limited understanding of CF, he's perfect. Well done!

This may be of interest (from Wikipedia):
The Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn (or, more commonly, the Golden Dawn) was an organization devoted to the study and practice of the occult, metaphysics, and paranormal activities during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Known as a magical order, the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn was active in Great Britain and focused its practices on theurgy and spiritual development. Many present-day concepts of ritual and magic that are at the centre of contemporary traditions, such as Wicca and Thelema, were inspired by the Golden Dawn, which became one of the largest single influences on 20th-century Western occultism.[3][4]

The three founders, William Robert Woodman, William Wynn Westcott, and Samuel Liddell MacGregor Mathers were Freemasons and members of Societas Rosicruciana in Anglia (S.R.I.A.). Westcott appears to have been the initial driving force behind the establishment of the Golden Dawn.

"I read about his experiments with vermicelli."
