Chuck the Barbarian
Thanks to Oliver Bizer for his work in recreating a facet of the hobby that has gone moribund over the years: vignettes.
These were very popular among figure painters being a 2D representation of historical scenes, figures and the like. When I saw his post, I emailed and asked if he could paste my likeness into his creations, which he graciously did. Have good laugh; my wife sure did. There are a couple of others I will build, too. Ollie provides a nicely designed base for his vignettes, but I was so impressed that I turned a special one out of wood. The name plate is temporary until I can get one made in brass. You can see in the second photo that this is flat representation that I have supported with some colored balsa wood. Thanks Ollie!

Oli made those figures available to all of us. It is a snap to put your picture in place of Arnold's. Build the Barbarian and retitle it as Emperor Lee Bob the First. I am sure Oliver would have done so had he known! This is just one reason why the hobby is so much fun.
