Ok not exactly what I had planned next , but i wanted to do something a little larger than 28mm as my eyes are not coping as well as they were last year. This lad has been staring across the desk of shame for at least a year - so once I had blown the dust off the undercoated figure I thought why not. Some of you may recall the 54mm Cowboys I did a few years ago so this is to add to the collection , and for possibly a future 54mm Old West game.
As with all the 54mm Andrea Miniatures figures the castings are first rate and a real joy to work on.
Of course its easily recognizable as that anti-hero from Pale Rider played by non other then Clint Eastwood - not to be confused with our very own Paint Monkey Clint...
Right off to find something else from the Sudan mountain...Martin C ...I will see your Zulus and raise you a Fuzzy or several...
Absolutely lovely work on a beautiful casting Dave. I was wondering when you'd add something more to this great 'little' project. I think you did a brilliant job on the shading and weathering. I particularly like his dusty trousers and the wheelbarrow he's leaning on.
10 points for the Pale Rider and of course something a little extra for the wheelbarrow. Lovely stuff Dave.
Not only is the miniature itself absolutely stunning; the composition of miniature and background is mindblowing as well! Great stuff.
ReplyDeleteThanks Sander.. I do like to give the final photo a little something to show it off.

DeleteWonderful work Dave! I'd really like to know how you did the weathered wood of the wheelbarrow?
ReplyDeleteCheers.. Weathered wood started with neutral grey undercoat, this is just then drybrushed in a range of gradually lightened mid brown colour to to a top of light sand
DeleteThanks mate! Much appreciated.
