I’m feeling a little bit pleased with myself.
I set myself the New Year task of completing a few figures which have sat unfinished for some time. There’s a whole bunch of stuff I haven’t started (new, not so new and old) but there are one or two which I lost the love for part way through. Dear old Hereward The Wake is one such figure but now he has been finished and as I say I’m pleased with myself for getting him done. I’m not so pleased with the end result though as I think my lack of enthusiasm for the piece is reflected in it. I have another SAGA type figure to do as well but that will feature as a separate post when it has been completed, hopefully next week.
The figure was purchased a while back and was one of four, two of which were completed back in March and May of last year. Links below:

Not a great deal to say about the figures itself or the base either for that matter. I had forgotten how good figures from Gripping Beast were though and at some point I will have to re-investigate their site. For now though my interests lie elsewhere.

He looks great, except that he’s a ginger, so I’m apparently supposed to write something mean. Next month is Neglected models, so keep on smashing out these suckers – though I do want to see some shots of how you manage to store them all!

Ginger is the new hot blond and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise! Work on the garage has started and I recently acquired another display case much to SWMBO irritation. I’ll be sure to post some pictures I’m due course.

Well, on women it certainly is. I guess on guys it is too, since I’m just as indifferent! Looking forward to the pics!

Women with red hair are generally considered hot, I certainly think so but sadly for us guys it’s about as bad as you can get! Such is life. ☹

Funnily enough, I was pretty shocked to find out that some women have a real thing for gingers. Here I thought I was just some weird mutant all these years.

I think it’s because we are a rarity. I always uses to say it proved I was an original Anglo Saxon.

I think mullets and moustaches should come back into fashion! He looks like a young Chuck Norris hehe. All jokes aside I think you’re being too critical. He’s great mate. He looks like he’s ready for battle or to headbutt someone at the pub. Either way he’s bad arse!

Cheers mate. Pound to a penny says you used to have a mullet? I think we are all critical of our work at times. Stopping half way through didn’t help I don’t think, still lesson learnt, finish what you started!

Haha I sort of had a mullet when I was a kid. Sort of long all over though but longer at the back hehe. Most of my projects have stopped half way through haha

Nice looking work. The base is great, but I mainly like the dark purple of that cloak. The hair really lights up in some of the pics as well.
