Davide 'Il Robusto' Bicclione

A brief respite from the Wars of the Roses for you gentle reader, as much as for me, you and I have certainly earned it! A while ago I received one of Wargames Illustated Giants in Miniature sculpted by my son Matthew, Giovanni of the Black Bands. I found that somehow I'd already got one, so I passed one on to Phil for our Italian Wars project. Well, to my surprise he painted his up and it duly appeared on his blog! Put to shame I decided I best tackle mine then ~

As you can see he'd not win any prizes but I'm confident that he will do his duty admirably, serving as anything from an objective marker, to acting as a victory point in the game, even as a Champion! Time will tell...

    A nicely turned out shiny target for the Baldini shooters 🙂

    A fine looking fellow indeed David…
    I have to admit that I prefer commanders that adopt a more restrained pose over the ones jumping about and waving their swords at anything and everyone .

    All the best. Aly

      Yes, the 'Hey Steve!' figures are a bit strange in some periods I agree.

    Nice work as always David and he will certainly have many uses on the table it seems:).

    Very nicely painted and presented indeed! He seems to me to bare an uncanny resemblance to a certain wargaming chum from years past..... can't remember exactly who though 🤔🤔🤔

    Thank you Paul! Now you mention it there is a resemblance to that distant chap. Thinner then though I recall?😉
