[Grod]

Hello Folks

This is the first of a series of 1/9 resin busts, sculpted for MMM by Pavol Ovecka, depicting highly decorated individuals of WW2. This initial set is comprised of Knights Cross holders from the Kriegsmarine, Luftwaffe and Wermacht. The individuals are;
1. Albrecht Brandi
2. Hans-Ulrich Rudel
3. Hermann Leopold August von Oppein Bronikowski

The set of 3 busts is being made available to PF members at an introductory price of £60.00 for all three busts.Each bust in the set is supplied with a representation of the Knights Cross which can be added to a plinth.

The busts are available individually in two alternatives;
Bust supplied with medal only = £25.00
Bust supplied with medal & resin plinth =£30
All prices include international shipping.
The busts are not available on the website yet and should anyone be interested in taking advantage of this offer then please contact [email protected] to place an order.
I have included pics of the busts mounted on the resin plinth and placed a 120mm figure to illustrate the size of the busts.

Cheers
Gordon

Offo is sculpting some Victoria Cross and US Medal of honour busts. Dependent on demand Heroes of the Soviet Union may be a a good subject although I'm not sure what the Soviet equivalent of these awards is.

Very nice and creative, Gordon. Bronikowski is depicted as a Oberst or as a Generalmajor?

 

[Filipe]

Hello Filipe. I have checked with Offo who confirms that Bronikowski is portrayed as a colonel.
There is a detailed account of his military career on this link.

Thank you, Gordon. Yes Bronikowski is shown as a Colonel/ Oberst/.
He was a great guy. He is Olympic Gold medalist. And after the war has not been accused of any war crimes. Also fought in WWI.
Just this guy, I am very happy portrayed.

Hero of the Soviet Union is sharply. This award almost a corpse. If you live you get it, if you died, then reward after death. I've never heard that in Germany to be awarded for the feat after death. There are heroes who were awarded during the war this award twice, three times and more ... Sorry for my english, but I think I understand
