54mm Bohdan Khmelnytsky

Completed paintjob, the matt varnish turned out OK thought it could have been better. But taking into account the weather I should be happy it didn't go the other way and turn frosty or more glossy.

For those unfamiliar with this fellow, Bohdan Khmelnytsky and the Khmelnytsky uprising the history is very interesting and too detailed to sum up easily. But in short it was a Cossack uprising against the Polish-Lithuanian commonwealth. In the war that followed, Khmelnytsky managed to find new allies in the tatars to balance his army and was able to defeat the Polish-Lithuanian armies twice which led to creation of a Cossack hetmanate.
