General Emilio De bono

[Guy]

Fellow member kastigamatt sent me an email asking me to post his sculpting as he was having problems posting an image. He failed to give me any other information about the figure and has not as yet returned my email inquiring about the figure. Hopefully he will chime in and tell us more.

In a word...."goatee!!!!" Oh yeah, gotta love a guy willing to sport some chin hair like that! Interesting figure. I like the medals in this scale. Good details. More info please!

Looks Italian , probably Alpini veteran
March on Rome period?

 

[BHowe]

Alpini was my first thought too--whatever the case, I like this one a lot!

Maybe an Italian MVSN "Blackshirt" Fascist Militiaman, WW1 veteran, late 20's early 30's?

It is indeed an unusual subject.

I'm starting to change my mind now :lol: maybe I should have paid more attention to the headgear.

Luca emailed me the following:

My name is Luca Cullati, I'm posting some pics on my last figure:Emilio De bono. Former General during the first world war, amongs the founder of the fascist party, governor of Lybia, killed by the reorganized republican fascist army in 1944 at age 78.(After his role in Mussolini's political end).
I took it at last Saint>Vincent show, it could became a cast kit. Ciao bye

So, it's not Col. Sanders?
Shucks, I missed again. :lol:
But seriously, this is a great subject and a very good rendition.
I hope to see it commercially available soon.
Great work Luca.
