There's a bit of a story behind this model.
I originally bought her when I was at Sandhurst (British Army's officer training academy) but, being a bit of a busy bee at that time, I put her aside and she languished in my "to be painted" pile for some years, during which I travelled the world, got married and had children (more or less in that order).
I finally dug her out a couple of years ago and undercoated her and got cracking but then discovered that I just didn't have the skill and patience to do her the justice I felt she deserved. The thing was, you see, that she came in one piece, and reaching all of the different bits was a complete pain.
The truth is that I still don't have the skill to really do this model justice, but I need the cash that I could get from finishing and selling her, so I've finally had a go at finishing her. She's about 99% done, with just a few bits and bobs to do that you can't see in this image. If there's interest, I'll add some more photos of the details when she's all done.
Anyway, pending anything better coming along, I'll probably enter her in the Large Model category for our regional painting competition that GW's running in the UK this Summer.
