He looks excellent KV, it would be nice to see him finished.
He withstands a) enlargement and b) flash photography. So I bet he looks better in real life!
A very nice classical sculpt.

Returning to my matte finished figures of the Zulu War the following are figures from MINIMEN Sculpted by J. B. Updyke and what I consider some of the finiest ever done. They're figures scluped back in the late 70's and retailed at the time for $3.95 and added to my kit figure collection in the mid 80's at a cost of $5.95........The Lt.

Thanks he is getting there. The face is killing me. The figure cost me a buck. The shipping was ten bucks

Lt. the Dio is great! I showed them to the folks at Sierra and they were suitably impressed.

Did you finish the face yet KV?

 

[kilted vampire]

Did you finish the face yet KV?

No not yet . Got side tracked by the 60th Rifles and casting and painting some more Sikhs for the Durbar.Thanks for enquiring though.

 

[The Lt.]

Here's a few more figures from my MINIMEN collection

 

[kilted vampire]

Glad to see you posting those pictures, nice work!

 

[modwalls]

Lt., the last fig looks like you stopped him in mid battle to pose for a picture. Come on, there is much fighting to be done. Mike

 

[The Lt.]

While the Kilted Vampire is feeling lonely and blue thought I'd post one of my Zulu Figures just about finished. Hope this cheers him up some what and who know he'd may surprise us with one or two photos......The Lt.

Sorry KV it's a matte finish.

 

[The Lt.]

Here's another of my Hinchliffe figures. Got a hunch KV's not happy I've finished them in matte, guess I'm going to have to fine something in gloss I have'nt posted to cheer him up......The Lt.

Has my whining become more pronounced?

No, it's been pretty steady

 

[Wraith]

No, it's been pretty steady

Watch your neck!

 

[The Lt.]

Guys do you think this Zulu will chase his blues away? Maybe he'll be so busy running that he'll forgot how lonely he is........The Lt.

 

[kilted vampire]

Watch your neck!

Lt,

Those guys look mean in matte (sorry KV). It seems to me that the more realistic the sculpt, the better the matte shows it off. Great stuff as always.
