Great work Colin.
Like the way he turned out.
And it whas Sir Douglas Haigh who said that it whas like a walk in the park. The only German you gonna see is a dead German.
After days of shelling nothing changed for the Commonwealth.
I belief you captured the look whit your painting........Hope and Fear.

Thanks all - very generous! For someone who never finished many pieces and who generally managed only a figgie a year, I appear to be on a roll. Not sure what's changed. But it's fun to get them knocked down.
Colin - not sure what's next. I may have a bash at some putty in parallel to painting my obligatory 54mm Henry VIII for a friend.

Thanks again for the interest.
This is cool. I posted my bust in the arts section of Great War Forum and one of the expert Tynesider members came back with this....he's even holding brown leather gloves!!!! Spooky as I doubt the sculptor accessed this photo..
"Hi,
Actually it is not a bad likeness to the actual bombing Officer of 2/TI.
The war diary records that on the 10th of February 1916 Second Lt Pantin and 15 OR's rejoined the battalion from a bombing course.
Second Lt Pantin is seated second right on the ground No 37 on the photo, the moustache is very close, don't know if he smoked a pipe. He was wounded 1/7/16 promoted Lt 2/7/16, Captain 21/8/17 transferred to Royal Air Force.
Hope this is of use to you.
regards
John"
I cannot over-emphasise how valuable GWF is to anyone wth an interest in the Great War.
