Well here we are yet again with your kind words and observations and I am sure you feel very important
I did tell you last time that if you felt you have to say something like that then a message in private is what should be done .
However here i am again having to listen to you
My father who was 96 when he died always said be polite and if you have something to say say it in private we’re fair and open discussion can happen
Do not try to score point by belittling individuals in public
Oh by the way he landed on Sword Beach was wounded at hill 112 and rubbed shoulders with the best of that you can be assured in war time and no one was checking if his Beret was right or his helmet was at a jaunty angle which would measure his ability to fight
I am sure you understand that as it would appear you are a veteran of many conflicts
I obtained my info from excellent sources and particularly from a former Legion Veteran
In fact ugly face and beret angle is a load of b%#@*cks excuse my french as we say here
The face was based on an actual face of a serving Legionnaire perhaps you would like to go tell him he’s ugly let me know when would love to be there
Finally I have attempted to do something I have done my checks and I have in fact put my hand in my pocket financed it and put my head above the parapet
What you have done is a cheap shot in every sense of the word it’s not productive in this “Hobby”
Sadly at times people can put a German helmet on a turd with a camo scarf and it’s gasps of how innovative and original or or perhaps a figure from the Napoleon period sat on a horse with a drum reading Penthouse people would say well researched because people want to blow smoke up makers arse good luck with that
Let me know when you are going to put your head above the parapet

Hi Guys

Regarding the comments above ZC has replaced his , quite rightly Chris replied to the previous ones

Must admit I’m tempted by this , strangely seems to a little seen subject

This would make a great companion piece

Hello Chris, I saw the "disappeared" post concerning your new Legionnaire bust which you are referring to, I see it's now been changed to "no comment" it's a pity he didn't stick to "no comment" in the first place, I think I'm right in saying that we are all open to polite and constructive views on the models we produce, be it painting a figure, sculpting, conversions etc, or as in your case actually producing an excellent bust, with great options for the painter, as I said we are all open to constructive criticism, but to just attack a new bust that someone has produced, as in this case is plain out of order!
I think there are plenty of other members of PF who feel the same as me, so don't let it get under your skin mate, as you said the guy is talking "B%#@*cks" what you have produced is of a high standard, as for the ridiculous comment of "he's ugly" well we are not all blessed with film star good looks are we?
I for one would much rather paint a face full of character, that's been kicked around a bit, than a perfect looking "God's gift to women" model on the catwalk face.
Cheers

That’s me

Just saying ...LOL

As I said credit to anyone who releases a piece .....a lot of hard work and often for not much return

Happy benchtime
