Looking awesome, Scott!
Thank you!
Very neat imposing figure Scott, and I assume these guys were all about 6ft and with the bearskins they would be pretty intimidating. Great build 👍
Thank you! Would have been something to see in his time. Although I’m glad I missed the battlefield.
Excellent paintwork, Scott @guitarhack5
