Figure of Prince Bonnie

Hi Guys:
Here is the final result of the figure I made. I'd like to give thanks to everyone who helped me with the dobuts I had about the clothes.
I hope you enjoy the pics.

Wow!

That is simply stunning. I am absolutely bowled over by the superb level of painting and by the animation that you have brought to the figure. Well done does not even begin to convey my feelings-- your work is awsome and masterful, and displays a spectacular level of talent. I am really, really, impressed.

Golly. I agree with MoR ( as usual). It is a true accomplishment. Thanks for showing us.

Well done, ole boy! Really very good. Will you be selling this one? Will there be more? Maybe you could custom make the figures by clan for folks who may be interested. Spended work!

That's beautiful. The workmanship is very impressive.

How tall is it?

How long did the project take?

Is that the original green that you painted up or did you have it cast?

If you had it cast, what did you cast it in (I'm assuming resin), and are there any plans to produce more in the future?

As everyone else said, your attention to detail is amazing - I'm especially impressed by the skillful blending on the jacket and the straightness of the lines in the tartan. I couldn't hope to do half the job you did!

Simply stunning.

This is a truly stunning work of art. I am deeply impressed by the skillful technique which is evident in the detail and colours, but I am even more amazed by the level of artistic expression. Here we see Prince Charlie in a moment of decision. I imagine this is the moment of decision. I picture him on Culloden moor at the moment when he realised the battle had irrevocably turned against him. The raised hand in a defensive block, the drawn expression on his face.

Thank-you so much for sharing your (perhaps ironically titled) Bonnie Prince with us.
