This was my mom's favorite: A Victorian Father Christmas from Wargames Foundry:
Most young boys (and some adventurous girls) play with Toy Soldiers; some never stop! I'm proud to say that I am one that never has stopped. Toy Soldiers, painting the figures, history and miniature wargaming is what this site is all about. May the God who gives encouragement give you the same attitude of mind toward each other that Christ Jesus had, so that with one mind and one voice you may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

He is very cool and you have done a lovely paint job on him too. It's nice both you and your mom were able to get pleasure out of your toy soldier hobby!

Love him, nice work.
ReplyDeleteThanks! Having lived in Europe for many years it reminded me of the many Father Christmas's we saw.
