<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ian_W, post: 4276081, member: 13311&quot;]Picked this large-ish figure up recently; it&#039;s 23 inches tall and very heavy (8 kg.)&nbsp; It feels solid to me; I own similar sized parian and spelter figures and those feel very obviously hollow when you hold them.&nbsp; There are small areas where the top coating has come away slightly, and it&#039;s a grey-ish colour underneath (but not shiny or metallic.)&nbsp; I&#039;m fairly sure it&#039;s not metal as it doesn&#039;t feel cold to the touch.</p><p><br /></p><p>There&#039;s also an area on one wrist where it has slight patches of orange and green.</p><p><br /></p><p>The base is covered with green felt, which doesn&#039;t give much clue.&nbsp; Although there&#039;s a small of the same bare grey showing around the edge of the felt.</p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s signed on the base &quot;Boisleau&quot; I think (there&#039;s a scratch near the &#039;o&#039; that makes it look like &quot;Baisleau&quot; but I don&#039;t think that&#039;s what it&#039;s meant to say.)&nbsp; I can find nothing online about any artist of that name though.</p><p><br /></p><p>I thought maybe it might be some kind of (modern) cold cast bronze, but that wouldn&#039;t show up as grey underneath, would it?&nbsp; Also in places it has quite a lot of the kind of yellowy-brown caked on dust / grime I see on much older figures so I don&#039;t think it&#039;s anything that recently made...</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]341706[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]341707[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]341708[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]341709[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]341710[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]341712[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]341713[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]341714[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]341717[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
