Figurine: Vampire Fighter

After what seemed like forever to finish the sphinx, I finished this next figure in just a week. He was 'dead' simple - a vampire fighter in full plate. Here he is:

This guy looks a little sad - maybe because he was only made a vampire after he had some greying at the temples, and now he's stuck with it for eternity.

One of the reasons this guy was so easy was that apart from his sword, he has no other equipment. In fact, this figure features one of my pet peeves; guys with swords, but no scabbard.

Where does he put this sword when he's not out stabbing someone? If he needs to pick something up with both hands, does he just drop it on the ground? Furthermore, walking around with a sword in your hand isn't just awkward - it's rude!

So maybe that's why he looks a little sad - he wishes he could put his sword down once in a while.

Anyway - here is a shot of the cloak from the back:

Nice flat top, dude!

My next figure is going to be a while. It is an elf lord riding a dragon. A very cool piece, but one that is going to take a lot of time and effort.
