Hairy old Bloke in a Wagon!

[Jacksarge]

This is a real "before and after" project. I picked up this miniature secondhand from a bloke on the Forum. It's a classic old D&D type mini, not sure who made it, but I've seen similar ones around. I have given it a Dark Ages treatment, changing the Wizards pointy hat into a phrygian style cap, carving off excess decorative bits, giving him a green-stuff belly, and replacing the staff.

I couldn't find my "Before" picture on this computer, so I may put that up later.

Here's the "After":






Cheers,
John.

Nice work although I think the wagon wheels are a tad futuristic for his look. 

[Captain Blood]

Love it. Works a treat. He's a real character

He could be of use for many time periods.

He looks cool. Well painted!

[Karadek]

Looks great!

Finy work, though that cart looks a bit empty - maybe he is going to the local town to shop? A couple of barrels or sacks would look good at the rear of the cart.

Thanks guys! 

I found the "Before" picture:



Anyone know who made this originally?

Wagon was left empty so I can put different loads in as required.

Metal Magic originally. Lovely stuff!

[Madhouse Workshop]

Ha! Love it.  Nice job on bringing that back to life.

Most defenitely a "slight" improvement ;-D stunning details you manage to pick out, love the model, is it still for sale somewhere or is it OOP ??

Very, very cool looking mini, good job. It's always cool when people go back and redo old paintjobs if they are in need.

Not sure if anyone still has the original in production, but I have seen similar elsewhere:

To my eye, the Midlam Miniatures version is all but identical apart from the driver.
