The piper :
His metal heart ticks like a clock.
His face is smeared with white smoke
His Mechanics hidden by clothes made of a hundred parts welded together,
Our musician searches through the puzzle of his destiny.
Equally colored in many hues, he skips lightly, a flute to his mouth.
The music of this mime seems to talk to machines.
With pirouettes and acrobatics, he leaves the infested city
And by this stratagem, he leads monsters to scrap.
The figure is inspired by the myth of the Pied Piper of Hamelin, a German tale about a town suffering from a rat infestation and which hired a musician to try to find a solution to their problem. The man played a musical pipe to lure rats with a melody into the River Weser, where all of them drowned. My harlequin revisits the tale and with his music, he lures war machines into the scrapyard. It is symbolic.

Probably the best figure ever. The idea is uniquely awesome, the painting is simply... breathtaking.
Nothing less than 12 points. |

I'm stunned, literally lost for words. I hate sounding so 'gushing' but I can't help it  I love the theme and it's excellently executed. Jeremie your imagination is exotic, chaotic and above all stupidly creative. I love it! |

Cela je la connais très bien! Simplement génial. Se ha merecido el BOSF en Niza, mi busto quedó en buenas manos  Bravo por la temática. |

Hacia tiempo que una miniatura no me llamaba tanto la atencion. Creatividad y originalidad en estado puro, estaria horas mirandola

Giving this less than 9.8 it's an offense to creativity, good work and people who work a lot in their minis. I can not understand How someone could think this is an 8, a lot of work could not be underated this way. It's a shame.

Forgive me for taking an opposing view, but while the image is creative, I find the only piece I actually like about it is the base, which is quite playful. The actual piper is taken far too seriously for what amounts to a folly. Exemplary technique, but the big picture is lacking; the piper appears too cold and static to fit with the dynamic base. |

Yep I saw it at the French GD (because I'm French) beautiful model and paintjob. It was amasing to see the jury holding and moving your model to make stand it, because it falled to the front. So they put its feet on the window to make it hold.
Anyway, great job ! | |
