Great stuff!

Good stuff man, inspiring.<br /><br />As for having one shoe, I imagine it's an artist's mistake. It baffles me that people take art as literal, being a half-serious artist myself, I change reality all the time to suit my tastes! Imagine and artist that's working for commission?<br /><br />n.neldorethhttp://www.hourofwolves.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9140646711960604590.post-57263251193989244392011-09-15T09:10:22.011-07:002011-09-15T09:10:22.011-07:00Some very nice looking figures, I do like Gripping...Some very nice looking figures, I do like Gripping Beast minis!Ray Rousellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07352596392520905197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9140646711960604590.post-53680291039053987242011-09-15T03:50:08.710-07:002011-09-15T03:50:08.710-07:00Beautiful.

Bob- When I was looking into it earlier, ...Thanks!<br /><br />Bob- When I was looking into it earlier, either on a forum or some website I read one suggestion that it's thought they kept one shoe off for traction (as leather slippers would be... well... slippery on steep hillsides...?<br /><br />Somewhere else I read it's based off a later medieval illustration that showed a welsh soldier in one shoe that may have been caricature-ish in nature (to show how poor the Welsh were? i.e. only able to afford one shoe) but later readers took it to be literal and tried to think of reasons why the Welsh would have only wore one shoe... <br /><br />honestly I have no idea - the latter seems likely to me, but if anyone else out there knows better - I'd be sure keen to know the truth of the matter!timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09928949644765765070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9140646711960604590.post-18485353557843176752011-09-14T16:31:52.213-07:002011-09-14T16:31:52.213-07:00Lovely as always Tim.
