Working from the official drawing of the figure, I made a three-dimensional statue. He is posed at the top of a mountain surveying the terrain as the strong mountain wind blows his hair and the tassels on his leather shirt. The musket is a vintage one and is held in preparation for adventure”. Although I pack extremely well and have never had an unfortunate incident shipping on eBay, I strongly urge you read more
