I was thinking.. \"That John Wayne would be a cool present for my Dad\"

You were thinking that too!

@S/vike: he\'s an Andrea mini in case you were wondering

Mick, we used to make an annual pilgramage to the Cowboy Hall of Fame Museum. I\'ve seen John Wayne\'s rifle. You\'ve done the Duke good.

Thanks, I managed to get a few good reference pics off the internet so I new the guard was bigger than standard
it was a bit fiddly, tried several different methods, sculpting, plasti-card, but settled on a piece of flattened out wire in the end

 

[Rev]

[mickc22]

What makes me laugh most is not the fact Mick just powned that guy, but the fact that he\'s probably had that card for years and this is the only/ first tiime he\'ll use it !! lol

Just joking, it was pretty funny though.

Edit: So, is he finished yet?

 

[mickc22]

I\'m glad it\'s not just me who can measure the rate of painting of a mini in years!

Ithink that the Irony is that the guy got \"pwnd\" by mick when he was asking Mick\'s opinion of his work having followed the tutorial.
