Hi Paul and Edward,
I was over at Frank Miniatures workshop at the weekend and he has the Tiny Troopers 90mm Col Douglas as well as the Roll Call Royal Scots Standardbearer at 100 Euros apeice !!!!
It is quite expensive but these are very rare kits.Maybe he has them with him at Euro-Militaire.....If they are not sold beforehand.

Pete

Hi Paul,
excellent figure, well painted ; the effect of having been in a rain shower turned out well too. The grey of the coat is good too.
This figure was inspired I believe by a good illustration, of a big german dragoon, who looks somewhat shocked at a small boy sticking his tongue out at him
I saw the figure on sale last year or the year before at one of the stands at AMSS Antwerp, but I stubbornly refused to pay 100 euro for an old figure, however good it is ... figure kits are not antiques methinks ...

Hi Paul,
... well all those excellent figures by David Grieve are still available, and some even in high grade resin now since a couple of years (with white metal arms and small parts), so that's something at least we can hold on to !
kind regards,
Johan
The figure is on sale, on Ebay £20 + P&P.

That is very nice. The rain effect is awesome. How do you do that? Is there anyway you might be able to do a step by step?? Thanks.

Yes that is the reference that Derek used to sculpt the original.

How does copyright work, copying 2 dimensions into 3.

Probably there is a lawyer or two on this forum somewhere who could answer your question directly and I hope they will.
In my own limited experience and understanding, the copyright attaches to the art work itself and any direct and exact reproductions thereof. If a sculptor produces a figure based on but not intended as a copy of a copyrighted illustration or a copyrighted photo, I believe that's OK.
Having said that, if you know the copyright owner or holder, it's just good business and common sense to contact that person in advance, tell them what you intend to do and ask permission. The British Blue Cross Society (a charitable group for the prevention of cruelty to animals) holds the original and the copyright rights to a painting by Fortunio Matania, "Goodbye Old Man". Matania gave them the painting after the war. See the photo. I wrote to them and asked permission to do a figure based on it and immediately received a courteous and thoughtful reply granting approval, even to the extent of producing a commercial model kit version, which I never did.
All the best,
Dan
