Awfully well fed for mountain man, but tons of character – I love it. It would be nice for a range compatible with the Foundry I already have – how does this one compare? |

Hi cfM Would fit in nicely with Foundry. Am an ex Foundry Sculptor

The mountain man looks really fun to paint. I didn't know that you sculpted for Foundry. What codes did you sculpt? |

OK. You asked. Too fat/short and the heads too big. Sort of "Gimli the voyajeur". |

Not only Foundry, he reminds me of the first Essex ranges, many decades ago. Same style wide hips, sausage fingers and exagerated face. At 3 – 4 foot range he becomes an individual and a nice work of art, up close he looks like a mutant. That said, I do like him. |

Excellent work WW. I need something similar, but in 15mm.
Cheers, |

Maybe that's what I'm missing. The exaggeration works at a distance. |

He reminds me of one of those resin "Davy Crockett" dwarves I got many years ago from some company whose name "I forget. |

I agree with most comments about chunkieness but the character, clothing and equipment are superb. Picking the Fur Trade era and specifically Coreur de bois is a great idea for FIW, AWI and War of 1812 collectors.
How are you marketing these figures for those who would like to buy them? |
| whiffwaff | 28 Feb 2012 4:30 a.m. PST |
Thamks for the comments. @ IronDuke596, These figures are a personal project of mine so wont be selling copies I'm afraid. |

Wiffwaff, very nice.
Shame though won't be for sale. I can see lots of uses for him. :) I have never tried sculpting, and always impressed to see what folks can produce. So thanks for sharing. |

You should try to market them.I'm sure there is interest in 17th cen.colonial North America.

Could you use these for the Texan war of independence too? |

I look at him and think post war of 1812 period out in the Rocky Mountains. Not quite FIW. Quirky, stocky, but he has a lot of character. |
puts the finishing touches on TMP's Principate army.
