Here is Padre Franco of the order of monks that accompany the troops of Todos Santos into the field. He is referred to as "El Tercero" by his parishioners sine he is the third miniature to be painted due to the generosity of Frank H.  

This miniature has a lot of good animation in his face. I can see him on the battlefield or on the march shouting "NO! You can't DO that!!!" and then smacking the offender with his cross. The facial detail on this guy is nicely done. He's not a handsome figure of a man and probably reflects the hygiene and dental work of the period. His hands are a bit large, but I just assume he got them from his having to hold onto the cross as he swings it. I imagine his forearms will match the size of his hands! He is mounted on a 3/4" base of airplane plywood from Litko Aero and has a magnet in the bottom of the base to hold him on the metal plate in the storage box.
