Red Baron - bust at 1/10 scale

[palmielcore]

Hello everybody!
I want to greet this forum for the last time in this year, presenting you another bust that I made it few years ago in the studios of Andrea-Miniatures .It will be a new release of this company in January 2009.The character this time is Manfred Albrecht Freiherr von Richthofen (2 May 1892 – 21 April 1918) who was a German fighter pilot known as "The Red Baron". He was the most successful flying ace of World War I, being officially credited with 80 confirmed air combat victories.I have all the necesary stuff for a SBS and will be the base for an article in the next future for the magazine Figurine Internacional but I only hang here some photos for you just to figure out how the original figure looks like.I take the opportunity to say here Merry Christmas and A Happy New Year!
Here are the pictures:

Beautiful Sculpting Paul. I look forward to seeing this released. It should be popular.

Stunning sculpt! The Pour le Merit and leather jacket details (I particularly like the small creasing in the leather jacket, very convincing) are very well done. As Guy says, should prove to be another popular piece!
