This figure was a gift on the FIGZ meeting in Goor (the Netherlands). It calls "The Happy Wargamer" and is created by Alex Gussev from Russia. You can see more of his work here.
But let's start with the base. The base is painted with the Belgian flag, and the blue looks like the shirts of the Belgian team, which are riding their World Championship at this very moment.
The dice is in the colors of the Netherlands organizer of the meeting.
The figure is painted in the colors of Russia to honor Alex. (Hope you like it mate?) Trousers in blue, and the shirt in white and red.
Hope you like him!

very nice Peter...
BeantwoordenVerwijderenThat's pretty awesome, good stuff!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenYou did a good job on "our fig"
BeantwoordenVerwijderenNice the way you used those colors, awesome mate.
Hope to see more of them painted soon ;-)
Greetings (and you may call me Remco, hahahaha)
That looks like me, because my package has arrived, and also because in Belgium we do not have to follow the Reinheitsgebot of 1516, which is both liberating and sort of bold, maybe wicked, probably wrong, but fun. I will check to see if the Bible says anything on the additional ingredients.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenHello Peter,
BeantwoordenVerwijderenI just discovered your blog. Very impressive indeed.
I visited the Mol show too, haven't been to Goor...
Do come and say hello on my blog.

Hello again,
BeantwoordenVerwijderenthanks for visiting. I'll get round to "adding and following" soon.
Strange, but as we share the same profession (in the same place), it might well be possible we've met or even know each other.
Pjotr
