The Man With The Shaggy Pants

Here’s a bit of a random distraction model: Ragnarr Loðbrók, from Footsore miniatures. Ragnar is probably most famous these days from the “History” channel’s Vikings series, which seems to be one of those shows that I can’t stop watching in spite of how terrible I think it is. Historians apparently agree that he probably never existed and that the legendary figure of Ragnar Lodbrok is kind of a composite of lots of different historical figures whose names & deeds have ended up being blurred into a single early-medieval superhero character.

Anyway, I like the model because his name literally means Ragnar Shaggy-breeches and Paul Hicks has accordingly sculpted him with little woolly trousers.
