British Commando WW2, Young Miniatures bust

[captnenglish]

What Gaudin said! But I still like the bust

Is he holding the knife in his mouth because he doesn't have any arms? Boom! Boom!

[Gaudin]

because he doesn't have any arms?

or legs... How the hell did we win the war?

Hi Guys ,

Still like thus lots and lots but would be interested to see it without the knife in his mouth......just a thought!

Commandos are certainly fashionable at the moment and long may this be the case.

I believe the pose is a staged one to portray the image of the commandos. The Fairbairn-Sykes fighting knife been iconic to the commandos.

This goes on to my wish list even though the pose is some what contrived.

Brilliant painting.

This is what could happen if you carry out the old "dagger in mouth" scenario too many times.

Maybe it might come with the knife as a separate part, don't know what it would look like though without it? must admit I do like this one.

......the daggers are to be placed between the teeth (on propaganda pictures)

Knife in the mouth - you are doing it wrong, its dagger you need, dagger!

I can see another idea for a bust....

 

[Adrian Cowdry]

Superb Commando bust and very well executed...but I do agree about the knife in mouth looking a little staged.

Trust Engineers to get in on the act.......

T'is but a flesh wound.

That's thrown a spanner in the works!

Get a grip on yourself.

Agreed superb sculpt and paint job but the knife just doesn't work to my eye
