The Prisoner

You are Number 6!

Painted for the recent mini exchange thing and now currently residing somewhere in the US with Mr. Bloodthorn. The "egg chair" is a recurrent theme in the TV programme, usually seating Number 2, so I thought it would be a cool way to display a mini. It's made from a hollow plastic egg (they come in packs of 10 so I have plenty more for future projects) with the front filed off on a belt sander. Unfortunately it does make lighting the piece for a photo rather difficult, hence the glare. I tried to give him a very shadowed brow to make him look as much like Patrick McGoohan as possible although I don't think I've got the hair quite the right colour as it looks different depending on what photo you look at.



Be seeing you...

That's a good display idea and it comes off well. Good stuff.

Really nice work.

Good work, on my favourite spy

[NeatPete]

Nice one Vern!

Nice mini and really good idea to present it this way, think your shadowed brow works as well.

[Undave]

Nice one Vern!

Eh?

[Bloodthorn]

I really enjoy having this in my home, with the small exception that it makes all the ones I have painted look like crap! Fantastic job here Dave and thank you again!

Great idea, & very nicely executed !
A pity we catch a glimpse of the mini's base inside the egg ... everything else is so well-thought, this may be the only detail that's bothering me.

I'm usually very sad when I think about "The Prisonner".
I had rather weird childhood remembers about this show, so I wanted to watch it again, about 30 years later ... and I understood why I had been so puzzled as a child -XD-
Then, the day I watched the last episode, as if it was some sort of ultimate mockery at my confusion, Mr McGoohan passed away.
Tell me about odd !!

Heard there was a re-imagined version of the series ... word is it is rather bad.
Can someone confirm ?

The new series certainly isn't the original so it falls into the trap of most re-makes in that you're always comparing it to the original. If the original hadn't existed it wouldn't have been too bad I suppose.

Unfortunately you can't see what's on the figure's base as I was rather pressed for time and only managed to get a few shots before I had to post him. Perhaps Bloodthorn can get a top down shot?
