John Churchill, Duke of Marlborough
« on: 24 February 2016, 03:47:12 PM »
This is Wargames Illustrated's latest 'Giants in Miniature' model, the 1st Duke Of Marlborough (on foot, unusually). I've painted the thing he's holding as a telescope, but I think you could also go for a baton and get away with it (I wasn't entirely sure which it was ... maybe both?). Nice model, classic pose, good Brian May hair.





'Sir John ejaculated explosively, sitting up in his chair.' ... 'The Black Gang'.

He was the british that came the closest to Paris with his army so It's pretty cool
