Where would Professor Victor Champion be without his loyal companion, Louis Marques? Adventurer, explorer, playboy, suave Frenchman, debonair hero and member of the Royal Kadath Society. Many thanks to Dave for helping me track down this elusive Triad sculpt. The character of both Louis and Victor are Dave and mines tribute to the late MiskatonicNick.

Excellent outfitting and superb posing and lighting! A most appropriate recreation of Louis Marques, eminent member of the Royal Kadath Society.
For those who may miss the reference, the name “Louis Marques” is a play on Louis Marx of Marx Toys, a prominent manufacturer of popular playthings in the 1950s - 1970s, mostly remembered for their miniature molded plastic figures (green army men and others) and the 1970s “Big Wheel” riding toy.

Thanks Dave! . He was a tricky devil to put together, with lots of references back and forth from Mr. Nick's work . Hi clothes and accessories are put together from Action Man, Modern Action Man, 21t century toys and BBI stuff. So pleased you like him

Well, I always thought he looked more like a Spaniard than a Frenchman.
