I was gifted a roughly 35mm casting of Liberty Leading the People. The flag is cast as one piece with the woman. Anyone have any tips to share about how to paint it? |

I believe there is a famous painting of this subject, on which I expect the figure is based. |

Oh, that wasn't the issue, the issue was painting the cast on flag. I have the painting bookmarked. The figure is now done. I'll post a link to photos when it's completely finished. |

Thanks, Jim. I discovered that the figure was a giveaway at a convention. |

Yes, it went in the swag bags at Lancaster one year. And your looks much better than mine. |

That painting could well be the origin of the phrase, "Letting it all hang out." |

Nice, but I can't think how you'd use such a figure in a game though…. |

interesting, great figure to have a model of. I had mistakenly thought the painting's subject was the 1848 revolution, but now lookign it up it was the 1830 revolution, though i know many mistake it to be representing the 1789 revolt |
paints the Dogman from the Flintloque starter set.
