In his imperial palace / mountain HQ ,The Baron always has an elite guard to fetch his biscuits , slippers etc.
Some of the lucky few who haven`t survived the crazy kamikaze missions issued to them, earned the right to constantly stand by his side.
Consists of one the legendary Steve D heads, and a Star Wars (I know but it fits the figure) Antares Draco comic book
figure. They were going cheap in Sainsburys, and I`m not one to leave discounted goods on the shelf, especially in 3 3/4
scale too!!

Why thank you

The armour is the original colour from the pack. I painted the helmet red and spayed it with crimson when still wet, seemed to give it a nice effect , not a perfect match but not bad for 20 mins work
Here they are if anyone is interested.............

Was the breast plate a bit distracting?

Nice Scoob I was looking at these figures on Dave's stall thinking they would make good Red Shadows.

i thought it was a female as well. the skirt-like appearance of the cape doesn't help.

Then again, could be female, haven`t taken the mask off to find out.
