I really like the limited color palette you've used on this one. IIRC, your first figure was bought as a one-off gift for someone. Looks like it's growing into a habitual pattern of behavior! Thank you very much Jeff. Yes the Nabopolassar figure was supposed to be a one off attempt as a gift for a friend in Spain who is a professor of ancient history and a specialist in neo Babylonian history. She has said Nabopolassar is a favorite subject for her. Anyway it came out better than I dared hope and I found it very relaxing and enjoyable. It’s a great break from struggling with a difficult kit too. I did order an Etsy Athena figurine to broaden my horizons. alan Old Collingwood, mtaylor, Egilman and 1 other 4 Quote

He does look like he could happily swash a buckle. Now I’m thinking I should have given him a black mask and made him Zorro alan Canute, Old Collingwood, Egilman and 2 others 1 4 Quote
Canute Posted October 5 #33 Posted October 5 I liked Antonio Banderas in Zorro, although Tyrone Power was good, too. mtaylor, king derelict, Old Collingwood and 2 others 5 Quote Ken Started: MS Bounty Longboat, On Hold: Heinkel USS Choctaw paper Down the road: Shipyard HMC Alert 1/96 paper, Mamoli Constitution Cross, MS USN Picket Boat #1 Scratchbuild: Echo Cross Section Member Nautical Research Guild

Thank you very much Mark. Yes, I was chasing non existent problems looking at the photos in the earlier set up.
