Piet,
Thanks for the comments.The bust is based on a portrait of a german pilot Ritter von Schleich.I can dig out a photo that Ulrich sent me.
Cheers
Andy
 
Outstanding sculpting and likeness!

This must be the photo he used:

Thanks Andy, I was already wondering if it was von Schleich, just by the likeness of your sculpt! Great, another ace to add to the gallery!

Andy ,
Great likeness , I particularly like the leather coat with all the creasing very effective , look forward to seeing this painted .
In the photo reference he is wearing a "Blue Max" is there one going to be with the bust , as I can't see one ..but is is early !!!
Have you a UK distributor for your busts ?

Keep sculpting its great .

Andy, excellent sculpt and a great likeness, I also like the leather jacket effect.
Nap. I'm sure Steve at S.K minatures stocks Andy's range. I'm sure either one will confirm.

Cheers Ken
