I wanted to buy a bust of this company, but 30 euros are asked Frank for sending parcels 200 grams it seems to me unreasonable rate.

The colours of the uniform looks a little bit unnatural on my Monitor and one question: When this bust shall present a german soldier why he has something on his pipe that looks like an austrian symbol? But perhaps Pete has a special reason for this

Nice one.

 

[smudger1960]

Nice release Frank,should be popular for you with WW1 enthusiasts

I think that the bust obviously has anatomic errors in proportions (a big ear, short shoulders). Painting of a bust could be much better.

I think that the bust obviously has anatomic errors in proportions (a big ear, short shoulders). Painting of a bust could be much better.

The folds are also there without a reason. Folds are there because of tension in the fabrics, not because we would have something to paint. Painting reminds me of "the standard" of the late 80'-early 90's. It's sad to see that many producers don't see that investing in a good "box art" is an investment that pays itself back.
Sorry, but better WWI subjects (busts) are available these days.

cheers,

Gino
