What would you commission?

In reply to those wanting rock group personalities, I have a subscription to a magazine called "Amazing Figure Magazine" and I offer these examples. From issue 27 (2003) George Harrison as 1/7th scale resin figure, Posthumous Productions. Issue 34 (2005) "The Mighty Zep", Page and Plant 19 in. high contact Earthbound [email protected] From issue 40 (2007) Hendrix, Vaughn, B.B. King, Eric Clapton contact [email protected] From issue 44 (2009) John, George, Paul and Ringo as they looked on Ed Sullivan show in 1/7 scale resin Posthumous Productions $ 445.00 set of 4 kits, contact John Apgar, P.O. Box 59, Flanders, NJ 07836. Issue 45 (2009) the Beatles as they appeared on the roof of Apple Records building, contact Posthumous Productions P.O. Box 59 Flanders NJ 07836. These figures are usually limited productions and may not be available, that is why I stated the issue and year of my sources.

Once I've learnt to paint white with any degree of skill I might have a figure made of Sir Ian Botham OBE Ashes Tour 1981.

200mm half figures of:
Lt Cdr Malcolm David Wanklyn VC, DSO & Two Bars (the Royal Navy's equivalent to Lt Cdr Gunter Prien) and
Captain Frederic John Walker, CB, DSO and three Bars, scourge of the U Boats (It seems the Kreigsmarine get far too much attention from the model manufacturers).

200mm full figures of a Roman Centurion and Viking sculpted by Pete Morton.

Legs for most of Carl Reid's superb busts and half figures, especially the latest of a WW I officer about to go 'over the top', the Crimean War lancer and the othe WW I half figures.

Maurice Corry's much delayed 200mm Waterloo Life/Horse Guard.

I already did a 1/9th Peiper bust many years ago for Verlinden.....

 

[Carlos69]

After a full figure Please Mike in padded winter coverals,as a pair ... Have your bust by Verlinden : )

 

[Colin_Fraser]

A large scale and accurate Lord Cardigan 1854 on foot. Lords Lucan and Raglan too.

A series of large scale Roman emperors or busts based on extant statues (eg the famous Augustus).

German WWll personality busts (like the recent Guderian Mark did such a great job on) including lesser knowns and resistance-related guys like Beck, von Kluge, Tresckow etc.

A series of c. 40mm WWI British army figures going over the top....and the list goes on.

More Light Brigade 75mm's and other Crimea figs from Maurice.

If I could commission a one-of-a-kind figure, I'd have to choose between:
- 'Russell Crowe' on the white horse from the arena scene in Gladiator, where he's attacking the charioteer; or,
-Boudicca on horseback
What about you?

I will be commissioning a couple of figures soon; a couple of Latvian Navel Air Service figures in 54mm (c. 1920s) to compliment a seaplane build. Nothing remotely on the market to convert I don't suppose...

How about this gentleman who died a month ago to the day?

I will never understand the military mind. Having knocked out three Tigers and a Panzer IV, he was not promoted, or decorated, but reassigned as a wireless operator!

[Harvey Pincis]

There seem to be a wealth of figures I don't know about! I have some serious homework to do! My ... 'my' period is 1919 to 1941 so yes.

 

[gorgosaurus]

Life-size bust of the elderly Charles Darwin.

I'd think I'd like to see Flashman caught (almost) by a returning husband cherry picker pants at half mast

Actually, I had not thought about it but Flashman escapades would be great diorama material!

Wow! Sorry to learn of Mr. Ekins passing, and also for him not having been recognized for his exploits.
