Ral Partha Duelist Thrusting Sword by Julie Guthrie

[72moonglum]

Hello sentient painting creatures!

 

So here's one I just finished painting and just got his base finished this morning and some pictures taken:

 

 

from an eighties Ral Partha set of Julie Guthrie figures, originally called the Berserkers, with was a group of different types of fighters/warriors. Nice set, as is all of what the Goddess Guthrie creates.

 

With this one, I also am using as a comparison set, because I also painted this one many, many years ago. So it was in the eighties, before 1986 when I graduated high school, so this painted version is of an age between 34 and maybe 39 years old, couldn't nail down an exact date exactly:

 

 

I started out with the same skin and hair more or less on my new version, but changed up his wardrobe as to note make a carbon copy.  The new figure was painted with Reaper colors and the old version was Polly S.

 

Anyhoos, always fun to do these little comparison shots!

Great job, I like the older version as well but the new one is my favorite!

You can see the improvement over the years.

 

Also...dashing fellow. Remind me of the three musketeers.

Thank you Glitterwolf!   Partha/Iron Wind actually has sculpted a group of musketeers one of these days may have to do something with them as well!
