A Rotund Figure

 
When I decided to do the S.Y.W. in 40mm I thought I would cast up all of the figures I needed and up till now I have done about 90% of the time . However there are only so many moulds out there and when I was sending a order off to Irregular I notice they do a 42mm General figure , so I decided to get one to see if he would match.
 
 
The plain casting was not that inspiring , however a coat of paint and varnish and he looks better . A little more rotund than his cast comrades but size wise a good match . The hot weather here in the U.K.  does not seem to conducive  to casting and painting at the moment combined with puppy sitting duties means not much to report at the present time.

  1. An excellent figure fitting in well with your homecasts I say!
    BTW have you ever seen the Irregular 40mm semi flat FIW figs? Would they go with Prince August?

    2. Irregular calls them 42mm Quarter-flats. At one time I had a few and found that they were more like traditional German flats than PA castings. I recall them being 1mm thick.

  2. I quite like the look of the new gentleman.

    For me, the toy Irregulars are thin enough and similar enough in style to mix quite well with PA.
