I struggled with a figure to paint up for the Myth bonus round, but while browsing through North Stars Military Figures, Bargain basement page the other day, I found this Robin Hood figure for the measly sum of £1.10. So along with another few bits and bobs from their 1672 range he was purchased.
I thought he'd be a good Myth figure, Robin Hood being a famous English legend, but who was the real Robin Hood??
Many names have been put forward, Robin Earl of Huntingdon, Robin of Loxley, Roger Godberd and the name we all know although spelt slightly different, Robyn Hode.
He's not sculpted in the usual Robin Hood style, but he's a more modern looking chap, he looks like he fit right in a Zombie game to me??
Good choice! And I like his looks. You're right, he could be hunting zombies. Rich ones of course...
ReplyDeleteOnly rich Z's for my Robyn!
DeleteOh he looks superb... and could easily pass for the street vigilante (Green) "Arrow"... something of a myth amongst the police and criminal underworld :-)
ReplyDeleteYeh, he does look a little like Arrow, doesn't he??
DeleteVery nice ray. Yes, I was kinda thinking Green Arrow-ish character too.
ReplyDeleteIndeed!!
DeleteGreat figure Ray! Steals from the rich, gives to the poor...sounds like a man for our times.
ReplyDeleteShould make him Prime Minister!
DeleteBrilliant choice Ray! Great work with the brush too!
ReplyDeleteThanks Rodger.
DeleteGreat looking figure, Ray - I agree that he could fit in fighting zombies as well as with the Sheriff of Nottingham.
ReplyDeleteThe Zombies of Sherwood Forest?? Sounds like a plan???
DeleteThem and werewolves of London :)!
DeleteNice!
ReplyDeleteCheers Chris.
DeleteA great choice, a hero of our childhood...and great job!
ReplyDeleteThanks Phil, glad you like him.
DeleteQuite a versatile figure... I agree. Begs the question - who's the best Robin?
ReplyDeleteErrol Flynn...? Michael Praed...? John Cleese...?
A little cheesy but its gotta be Mr Flynn.
DeleteGood choice and a cracking good paint job, Ray.
ReplyDeleteThanks Bryan!!
DeleteVery nice Ray, looking very green.
ReplyDeleteRobyn always liked a bit of green, so its said??
DeleteHe is very modern maybe he takes after the BBC of some years ago? None the less we done there Ray.
ReplyDeleteThat was my thought Rob, but now I'm thinking more on the Green Arrow line.
DeleteVery nicely painted Ray :)
ReplyDeleteWhy thank you madam!
DeleteLovely job Ray!
ReplyDeletecheers Simon!!
DeleteGreat job Ray! I think he could be hunting zombies in a blog near you soon.
ReplyDeleteYou never know Bob, you never know????
DeleteA perfect backdrop for Mr Hood. Great painting Ray.
ReplyDeleteCheers Pat!
DeleteNice job, Rayman! With a little putty over the eyes and nose and he might be found working overtime on the weekends as the Green Arrow.
ReplyDeleteYep, some others have said he could be the Green Arrow.
DeleteNice one mate. One would not expect dragons and ogres from you.
ReplyDeleteIndeed!!!
DeleteNice work, Ray.
ReplyDeleteThanks. Stefan
DeleteI suspect Robin Hood is an amalgam of may real and mythical characters, CF King Arthur. I have also been tempted hy the North Star figure.
ReplyDeleteAt a mere £1.10 I was silly not to buy him.
DeleteHe looks good Ray!
ReplyDeleteChristopher
Glad you like him Chris!
DeleteLooks good, Rayolla.
ReplyDeleteThanks Whisk!
DeleteI bought the same figure in the sale along with MM and the S of N
ReplyDeleteYou have done a great job with what I honestly thought was a pretty poor sculpt
I didn't think the sculpt was bad, it is just a little strange, neither here nor there in any period?
DeleteGreat paint-job on a very nice sculpt and congratulations on reaching your challenge target too.
ReplyDeleteCheers Joe!
DeleteComic book and TV 'Arrow'? A multi-use figure perhaps.
ReplyDeleteGood stuff, Ray. I say it's a winner. Nice camera work as well.
