Steve,

This is a wonderful bust of my favourite subject. The Rising Sun badge on the slouch hat looks superb, as do the dog tags.

Is this going to be a commercial release?

He looks great, I love the pose.

Hi Guys,
thanks for the positives! originally the pose was concieved to be leaning againt the parapet, waiting for the bombardment to lift, but as i progressed with the sculpt, it slowly changed to what you see now - looking towards Lone Pine, maybe?! hopefully, it will be commercially available soon, keep looking on PF!
thanks again
Steve

To me it looks more like he's looking up at a flying machine and saying to himself, "It ain't 'alf 'ot down 'ere. Wonder if that bleeder flyin' around up there is any cooler?"

Pardon my butchered dialect. Tony - feel free to correct me.

Outstanding sculpting!

All the best,
Dan

Steve, brilliant sculpting on this mate, a very neat and smooth finish and it should prove very popular.
