This figure of Johan van Valckenburg was the special figure of "Hamburger Tactica 2013"
Unfortunaly I couldn't go there, so I asked my friend Thomas to buy me on.
The reason is clear, its a (old) famous Dutch man, and since I am Dutch...
Thomas did sent it to me as a gift, so a even bigger suprise for me! Thanks again Thomas!
Beside the figure there is also a measuring instrument
As you can see in the unpainted version, it's a metal figure.
Johan van Valckenburgh was a Dutch ingineer who lived 1575-1625
He buid some fortresses in Germany where he spend the most of his live.
His master was engineer Johan van Rijswijck,
both served for the Dutch prince Mauritz van Oranje
It was fun painting this compatriot.
Model is sculped by Frank Gemershaus specialy for Tactica fair
