Beautiful sculpt and paint Dmitri.
The pose looks so relaxed and calm as you would see a chaplin.
The choice of head gear is always a nice touch from the selling point of figure.
Good work, I really like it.
Best wishes,
Keith

Excellent! Just to be clear Dmitri, are the glasses included? I don't see them on the sprue picture.

All the best,
Dan

Very nice! Just one small question, regarding the box art piece. Our German forum friends can offer clarity on this, and say whether I'm speaking out of my Popo. While "die Bibel" is indeed the literal translation of "the Bible", I think "Heilige Schriften" would be more likely to appear on the outside cover, if there were an inscribed title at all, and not a cross. Especially for a copy likely to have been printed from the second half of the 19th century up through the Great War, as our Feldprediger might be likely to carry. Having "The Bible" on the cover seems to be more of a contemporary inscription in the English-speaking world. But I may be wrong in this observation.

Prost!

Great subject but this would be great as a bust as well ...with him holding the bible in front

Good hat option as well

Definitely get this if a bust version appears

Thanks for sharing

I like this figure a lot, but not my scale Very original. Any figure with no gun is 'original' by default, haha.

Next we should have the rabbi to go with him. It is shown in one of the Osprey book, I believe.

I don't think priests, pastors, or rabbi carried/carry their 'book' with big letters saying what it is. There can't be no mistake about "Ze Book". I would have left off the 'label'. Unless to show one's talent/skill as painter, another story.

Cheers,

Patrick

Well noted: usually the title says " die heilige Schrift" if any title is written on the cover. Below an example of the 1855 edition:

Danke sehr, Martin! I have a German family Bible at home, too, thanks for reminding me, I forgot to check the cover.

Interestingly, I have a relatively newer (circa 1950) Catholic Bible that my one grandfather ordered through his parish. It's printed with a red cover, and with an interlaced filigree design on the cover, in gold and black, with the inscription, "IHS".

These things catch my eye. The other thing I notice is drinking vessels. As a beer fan and a collector of German beer mugs and other drinking vessels, stoneware, glass, pottery or metal, I usually see if a painter or modeler uses one that doesn't fit the time and place.

Prost!
