King Richard III Returns With Help From Perry Miniatures
February 7, 2013 by dracs
As some of you may have heard, King Richard III was recently found buried under a car park in Leicester. These have since been proven to be genuine and to celebrate this great discovery Perry Miniatures have created the Return of the King!
Yes it is a sculpt of King Richard himself bursting forth from his tomb beneath the inglorious car park. Which just makes me wonder, did he have a disabled parking permit for that horse?
The sculpt itself is excellent, a brilliant and humorous diorama that I personally am very tempted to pick up. As yet it is unfinished and will only be added to the Perry range if it generates enough interest. Perry Miniatures, I am interested! Make it so.
Who else likes the look of this dramatic tribute to a long dead and recently uncovered king?
I love the look of this model, really hoping that Perry Miniatures does add it to their range so I can pick one up as well.
Haha. That’s brilliant.
Was it Blackadder or Baldricks cunning plan to bury Uncle Richard under a car park ?
No it was Percy
It’s a mediaeval Meatloaf bat out of hell moment!
What a rotter bursting up through the disabled parking place and not displayed his Blue Badge!
Half his head missing and various other wounds including a dagger up his jacksy hardly qualifies him for a blue badge 🙂
He might qualify but am surprised he can still sit in the saddle!
I’d be quite tempted if they made it, such an awesome concept.
As a proud Lancastrian, my ancestors put old Dickie under that car park.
Awesome stuff, the Perrys!
Don’t forget that us lancastrians also besmirched his name. Now we can add parking in a disabled spot beyond his allotted like to the list. The nephew murdering, hunched backed usurped. Good old Henry VII put paid to him, Shakespeare sealed the deal.
Those Lancastrian Traffic Wardens were a bit harsh though.
A fine usually suffices to penalise. No need to clamp the poor dude in tarmac.
Very rare to see a 28mm answer to the news 🙂
