Looks great as always Mike! I hope this will convince our 1/32th scale aeroplane modelling friends to invest more time in their figures...
Thanks for posting Gary.
Best wishes,

Mike, It's a great figure. I've always admire the natural look to your work. Realism is a benchmark that is the goal for me, and your work is a perfect example.~Gary

Bravo, Mike. I'm in the process of painting your Japanese pilot by Ultracast. Looks like I may have to make bookends with this new release

As a 1/48 aircraft modeller, I've always appreciated your work. This one is a wonderful addition - very well done, Mike.

Hello Mike,
and expression is maybe the most important goal in modelling to me, and your work is again a perfect example!

Hello Mike,
It takes a master like you to make a 1/32 figure look like 120mm.
Another Good one!

Hey thanks guys!! Its nice to know I still have fans out there, and talented ones at that!
Just for grins, here are pics of the original master for this figure. It is really a hodge podge. It is a rework of a SEATED pilot I did for a toy company. I simply adapted the torso to a standing pose. It saved me scads of work! The face is actually a portrait of John C. Waldron, commander of Torpedo Squadron VT-8 flying TBD Devastators which was completely wiped out at the battle of Midway.
That figure was yet another commission I did for a private party.
Being full time professional, I have learned to make the most of my projects! The Navy pilot has now stretched to a total of four different iterations!
Cheers!!
