This is a picture of the world famous character and rogue on The Miniatures Page known as John the OFM. His TMP avatar is the fellow holding the tankard of ale. The gentleman on horseback on the right, waving his hat, is the real JOFM, Himself. One of the members of the Fife and Drum Miniatures forum arranged to have the head made in John’s likeness and then it was grafted onto a Perry AWI Continental army general.
The figure was then painted, we called him Little John, and he then made a trip around the world visiting places such as the UK, Australia and the USA, making multiple stops in the latter country. Those of us who were in on the bit then took pictures of Little John on our own Wargame tables and then sent him on to the next person. Finally, the figure was gifted to JOFM along with copies of the photos from around the world.
Pretty cool idea.
Well done!
ReplyDeleteExcellent!
ReplyDeleteNice idea. Isn't he banned from TMP now though?
ReplyDeleteI don’t know, but you can keep up with his antics and hilarious highjinks on the Fife and Drum Miniatures Forum.
