Can You Guess Who This Is?
« on: September 18, 2010, 20:24:00 »
So can you tell who this is?









I've been working on some Western buildings lately and had the idea to do Austrailian cowboys as well. Starting with ....... Did you guess it's Ned Kelly! Well I hope you all thought it looked like was him.

I've done him, his partner in crime, a Cobb & Co stagecoach and a sheep ranch.

I didn't know who he was :-[

But what an amazing creation, and good use of the arrow pouch thingy (what is it called?) 8} to hold the shotgun :)9

Dear me, Damo, you didn't know Australia's most famous outlaw.   :(

But what an amazing creation, and good use of the arrow pouch thingy (what is it called?) 8} to hold the shotgun :)9

A quiver.

I had no clue either. Although he does look more like a movie charachter then a real life one IMO.

Once again very good and detailed work!

Great job Emma! :clap:
But after looking at reference pics on the internet,
I have only One critique.
Perhaps he would look better with the coat over his armor as opposed to under.
If that is possible. :)

Still it looks stunning! :o
Great job!
And his partner looks magnificent too! :wow:
Steck is BACK! <:>

Well I could have put his coat over the top I didn't really think of it simply because with the the coat on top you'd not see much of the armor just a small bit down the middle and then he'd just end up looking like a guy with a bucket on his head!  :o

None of these figures are 100% accurate think of them more as a caricature of the person. I just did them as a bit of fun none of these guys are supposed to be spot on, I haven't the talent or the patience to spend hours on them :'(
