Verlinden French Officer

How many of you remember this resin figure from about the 70s? I think it is out of production now. The figure is not unattractive but seems to be in a state of permanent puberty. The boots look good.

 I dug it out of my stash and am thinking of ways to recraft it into something else.





WWII personalities 2

I've completed the major sculpts on the deGaulle and Dowding figure. Some undercoat painting to highlight defects and has been done.

Further painted the face and added a ribbon to the tricorne.

Added a sword.


Added drum cords made from copper wire.


Final shaping of the shoes.

I have started to sculpt the holsters and also bulked out the lower lip of the horse.

Louis XIV 15

I refined the painting on the face, and reshaped the shoes. The tongue of each shoe was trimmed off and the shoes were reshaped. The drum was test-fitted onto the figure and it fits nicely.
