Has anybody seen or heard from Matthew Hauck since his last post on July 14? I'm trying to stay in touch with him regarding my German SW Africa camel-mounted scout figure. For those that don't remember the piece, here are the photos from my original post in November 2009.

All the best,
Dan

Thanks Steve! Well, I've already asked him to contact me about this, so...

All the best,

Superb sculpting and pose.

Thank you Mike! Not bad for five years ago. That's when I completed it. Would certainly like to see it painted and completed!

All the best,
Dan

I would love to paint that.Is the camel from Verlinden?

 

[Dan Morton]

Yes, the camel is Verlinden. I removed all the period saddle and other stuff and sculpted on the appropriate gear. The head is a modified plastic one - don't remember where I got it. A few other bits are from kits. Shortly after I finished it in 2009, Matthew asked to paint it - German SW Africa during WW1 being one of his areas of interest. Long story short, I sent it to him asking only that he paint it right away and eventually put it in a model show. To be fair at the time he said he painted slowly.

All the best,
Dan

Very interesting model Dan - like you I hope to see it painted.
Cheers
