Will Reynolds of Beyond the Mask

This figure is painted up as William Reynolds, the hero of the Christian movie Beyond the Mask.  Beyond the Mask is set in the world of the 1770s and follows Will's journey from assassin to hero.  At one point in the movie, Reynolds moves to Philadelphia and becomes a highwayman who battles local Loyalists.  This figure recreates his highwayman outfit.  To learn more about the movie and William Reynolds, visit www.BeyondTheMaskMovie.com




The original figure was made by BMC as an artillery commander with sword and pistol.  The only conversion work I did was cutting off a backpack and canteen.
 
It is unclear whether this outfit is supposed to be dark navy blue or purple, so I opted for the latter because it is very distinctive.  Reynolds wears long or grand gaiters to protect his legs.  His cartridge box did not appear in the movie, but I left it so that he could reload his pistol.  On its strap is a large decorative brass buckle.  He wears a mask to conceal his identity.
