The Mad Axeman of the Forest

Had a little bit of fun with an old metal figurine – Gimili, I think from an old Lord of the Rings set.  Painted years ago, but now resurrected in the New Forest….

Seen some of these done, so when out taking some fungi – I also used the axeman in several poses…

First in his axeman adventures was the wizards white fungi tower…
