Hi Guys,

Here are a few images of a piece I have just sculpted for Mitches Models.
As you can see he depicts a US Air Force, POW!

1:9th Scale.

Release date Euro I believe!
I'm sure Gordon will release further information regarding Price, Availability etc closer to the launch
!
Hope you like him!

Hello Carl, I love it!!! My favorite character in The Great Escape movie, Capt. Virgil "The Cooler King" Hilts, played by Steve McQueen. The likeness is excellent. The leather jacket, ballglove, and baseball, are all well detailed. Great character piece Carl. Congrats and Regards, SG

Hello Carl, One small side note. The Army Aircorps patch on the left arm, was sometimes painted on leather jackets, rather than the sown one. "Hilt's" was the painted on version in the movie. Regards, SG

Superb sculpted likeness of the man Carl, I've been looking for a decent bust of Steve McQueen for a long time, look like he's just turned up!
Cheers

Great depiction of a 100% fictional US character added by Hollywood to make the movie more box office worthy in North America. I am not a stickler but that and McQueen's vanity ride on his bike always blight this movie for me.

Put me down for one Gordon. Seriously cool mate. A mate of mine is a huge fan of Steve McQueen and bought a replica of his motorbike from The Great Escape. I think this bust would make a great companion piece.
