Wee Goldie

Lord John has become one of my favorite characters in the Outlander world, and as much as I enjoy David Berry's portrayal of him on the show (and I do LOVE how he portrays him on the show), he just doesn't look like I imagine him in my head. I still see him in my head as the "Wee Goldie" described in the books. When Iple decided to retire the Theo sculpt several years ago, I kept looking at him and thinking he would make an awfully good Lord John. I ordered the head with Oscar A default face up, and he has now taken over the SID body from poor Justin.

Of course one of the things that was a "must have" for John was a proper uniform. As I have posted on previous installments of the blog, my friend Robyn at Period Threads agreed to give the uniform a go and she did an AMAZING job of recreating it (see previous installments of the blog for comparison pics of the actual uniform on the show with my version created by Robyn). In fact, I love the uniform so much that Poor John hasn't had a change of clothes in the 2 years or so since the uniform arrived.

Today I thought I would take some more pics of John in his uniform just because it had been a while since I had spent some time with him and I'd missed him a bit.

I do have some other ideas of clothing for him. I actually have a red vest and black pants to change up the uniform a bit...….maybe I need to at least bring myself to put that version on him for something different. In the meantime, some different edits to enjoy him as he presently stands. He has quite a handsome profile, doesn't he?
