Very good work, Bernt.
I like the face and the moustache most - but the entire figure is well done.

I've enjoyed seeing what figures you've all got and how you are getting on painting them. I will be home from sea on Friday to open my envelope... and really looking forward to it.

Very good, Bernt, congratulations
This figure seems simple but is not easy at all to paint

A little more paint on my figure. It goes slowly forward.

Good idea too Eric !
It will also help others who picked the same flat...
 
To Glen = yes I did erase the engraving on the face and partly on the bicorne, and added some putty to make it flat for painting the face as a canevas or miniature. But I had also to add some left material to create a noose and chin.
More on the new subject later. I built some historical information about this unknown king in my culture..

Hi all
My figure is king Sobieski and it is on the workbench
I will start a SNS in the Workbench part
I join a picture of the figure painted by Douchkine

Yes, it is quite interesting trial.
Looking forward to see the progress.
Other way I am on the view of Glen: since it seems (comparing the face of the tin figure with the painting) that major modification should be carried out, the total rebuild would be more promising than modification of the present facial lines.
I think a Dremmel (Proxxon) powertool with fine chiseling head would be a help.
Good luck!

I'm thinking it miight be easier to remove the engraved facial detail, re-establish the corrected facial features and perspective with finely scratched lines, then paint it as you would paint a small face on canvas or art paper.

Just a thought...
