Thats cool !!!

I like both versions but the one with the cap slightly edges it.

Hi Guys

I will be looking at this as soon as it reaches me from Jon , it's certainly a piece that shows the sheer sadness of war IMO .

Agree with Stu I also prefer the soft cap version but as always accuracy will be paramount with JS products which ever version you do ...just look at the glasses for instance

Not sure if the glasses will be cast clear but easy to put lens in using something like Mcro Kristal Klear

Thanks for sharing

Great release for the centenary year of Passchendaele, I wonder if there will be a British soldier to pair up with this?

Who knows Jon and his detail amorusness knows that you will find something helpful in the kit for the glasses. And I have phoned yesterday with him and we have a talk about the glasses. So wait and see
I hope to have the first kits for the "Zinnfigurenbörse" in Kulmbach and can´t wait to start painting the bust.

An excellent figure of what seems to be a very unhappy camper! Not my period even, but it's tempting

Jon ask me if I can post here another photo. And now you can see the whole scene. The name of the file is "THE BATTLE OF PASSCHENDAELE, JULY-NOVEMBER 1917".The photo is from the "Imperial War Museum"

Awesome bust ! The soft-cap version "speaks " to me too .
Just wondering whether Jon might do it in 54mm, especially the scene that shows the 3 dejected looking Germans staring at the period cameraman .
It will certainly look Great as a small vignette of a very sad period in the history of Man .
Cheers!
Kenneth.
