A wonderful gift incoming!

I received this as a gift from Jon before our recent Sudan game! A Foundry Miniatures (very) limited edition mounted knight in Maximilian armour. Isn’t he just splendid? He will make a fine subgeneral for my Italian Wars project ~
Of course, he probably has more value, left as he is in the original packaging, to some collector but I have no interest in that side of figure collecting, so he will be painted up later in the Autumn and join the ranks of the Papal States army.

    You lucky so and so. The only gifts I get from opponents is a headache and the washing up.

      Indeed, I am blessed in that sense at least...

    What a wonderful gift!

    As it's pewter, a dark wash and some soft burnishing should produce excellent 'armour'results, leaving just the non-metal bits to paint.
