I saw this at the weekend. I thought it'd be a brilliant base figure for Ironblood and only needs a red V. The scale os probably closer to the 3 3/4 scale than 10cm scale
Moff Tarkin's head would be better, but there's be no paint rub at all...

Also, look at the Resolute Destro via Hisstank's front page. There's a long coat Destro that would be excellent for the Black Major (Ross in particular may like this)

i love that thrawn figure, the heir to the empire story was awesome.
not so keen on the new destro, have seen him but feels kinda cheap. im really getting sick of 25th figures, think im gonna give them a rest & just do older figures for a while!

now he IS pretty cool, but im still stopping 25th figures for a while.
my work used to be about the painting, the 25th figures just dont have as much scope, if you havent already seen it you can check out some of my work here:

i think my favorites are the wolverine, the beefy cable & venom.

mine too, havent had any for nearly a year!
my buddy used to work for a U.S. company based over here i got work through but the boss didnt pay his taxes & did a runner!
getting rather annoyed with joes, marvel stuff is way easier to paint! would i find enamel paints easier? acrylic seems to industry standard but ive base coated a sand viper & now im having trouble getting paint to coat properly, i dont want to risk floading it coz this figure has a lot of sculpted detail!

thats exactly the problem I have with acrylics and why I use humbrol enamels... It might be my fault entirely but ive not seen an acrylic painted figure "in the hand" that looks as good as one painted with enamels...
