Completed Mike & John's Wings Cockpit RFC Dawn Patrol

[Mike - The Kiwi]

Hi all,

Another super little 1/32 (54mm) figure from Benoit Cauchies for David Allen's Wings Cockpit range.

John Belcher & I have again teamed up to provide our own takes on this one.
John has chosen black overcoat as per original Osprey plate that inspired this work.
I've opted for tan coat & Trinity College scarf.

Have a look below & tell us both - what do you think?

He's available from MDC here
My face painting WIP photos here too

A couple more shots from different angles of my version.

Both very nicely painted.

That's a very nice figure. If you had painted a small, thin moustache on the face, it would have been 100% Errol Flynn ! Maybe you can still add it ?

A very, very nice figure that will look great with a Wingnut Wings biplane like an RE.8 !

 

[alamac]

Both beautifully painted , congrats guys
Cheers

Couldn't choose between them. They almost look like different figures but both are really excellent.

Both are beautifully done. Although I would rethink shooting the dark painted model against a black backdrop. Most of the edges are lost.

Sweeet!!

Both are superb Mike.
Well done, again, on getting superb textures on the uniforms.
Great work,
Keith

Thanks Keith
Keep pushing the envelope on this without detracting from overall scale of figure.

Cool idea Johan
Thanks mate, agree would have been good to do but this little chap is a Brit Canterbury Old School boy.
Will leave that for another modeller

Stay safe

Thanks again for your support of our work Mike.

Here's another couple of earlier shots John took so you all can appreciate the edging of his beaut

Trust that helps.

It's good that this isn't a contest and I be in the Jury.
They ended equal.
Amazing work on both.

[Chris Mortimer]

Amazing what a different paint scheme does for the same figure. Both figures are superb. I love the leather work of both jackets. The Black one looks stiff and hard wearing and the brown one looks soft and worn in. Top shelf stuff fellas

 

[captnenglish]

I need a couple of this guy!

 

[John Bowery]

What a great couple of guys.
Cheers
John

Really nice, Mike
