Preview: 1:9th Bust/Half Figure, 1914 "Christmas Truce"

[carl reid]

Hi Guys,

Here is a piece I have just completed for Stormtroopers.
Stu asked me to post preview images.

It will be a Christmas launch for a limited run.

As you can see it depicts a private from the 6th Cheshire Territorials, who apparently took part in the football match in no mans land. also the ball apparently came from the German trench, and Germany won 3:2. Somethings never change hey guys......

Anyway chaps I hope you like him, and as always thanks for looking.

Carl, ... I guess I will stay away from 'Stockport', then! .. If they all look like 'Margaret Cameron'.

But I will still buy this 'Bust'.

I've got it,Carl cloned himself out of putty and has himself working 24/7.
Glad it will be a Xmas release, give our wallets time to recover after Euro and Telford.

Cheers Guys!

The Christmas Truce is very poignant and moving incident that took place amongst the carnage of the western front. I urge everyone to research it, because they was threatened with court marshal and execution if they didn't bare arms again.
