The iron cross looks terrible.

Not sure what you mean but Pavol's portraits are nice and that is the key.

 

[MCPWilk]

Reminds me of a motivational film - the faces do seem very familiar!

Yes, your cross is better

The iron cross looks terrible.

Nothing like a bit of constructive critique is there?! Never mind that the bust itself is actually a very good likeness .

I can see these being very popular. The helmet improves the Kelly bust IMHO.

Maybe because they weren't sure he deserved it??

Well looking at your work...... Oh wait you don't have anything. Another cracking set from Offo and MMM. Nice work guys.

Well, I'm used to better sculpting like this one from Pegaso I did a few years ago. The Iron Cross is a jewel, nothing close to what's above.

Nice figures, but terrible details on the awards.

It may be just my old eyes, but Julian may well have a point.
It's the first time that I've seen an Iron Cross that appears to bend with the folds of the clothing.

It will look fine with paint IMO. Clearly Offo concentrates on portraiture rather than miniaturizing regalia and uniform seams and buttons etc. For that you are best to pursue 3d printed pieces or pay Pegaso prices.

Yes, they are flat, not much work was put into. Price range is not a issue for bad sculpting. Pegaso and Andrea have the same price range and Pegaso is way better in details, fit, seam lines and necessary clean up. It's just some care with details.

 

[Colin_Fraser]

Personal opinion I guess. I would rather have a portrait that looks like the subject than a perfect miniature medal any day. If I was bothered it would be a three minute fix. Doesn't make me wrong or you right. Just different priorities. At least we don't have MMM jumping in to slam you for criticizing. Good on them! Seriously!

 

[offo]

The best solution is to use etched insignia. Then it would be Hi tech.
The classical sculpting will never be completely perfect. Therefore, please excuse minor imperfections on the details.

Colin,
I fully agree with your opinion of Offo's sculpting prowess. His ability to accurately portray characters is outstanding.
I only stepped in with my casual observation because I thought that Julian's observation did not warrant a dismissal.
