Love it when a master does a smiley face! Well sculpted figures with a smile on them are just so much fun!

Interesting to see a deviation from usual winter skin tone from Young. Now Young's face painting is always superb, but I love this particular style here a lot better. The word is PINK.

 

[pmfs]

Fantastic!!!

 

[mil-mart]

Brilliant facial expression, crying out for the title ' Christmas comes early '.

Cheers Ken

 

[Uruk-Hai]

This one I like a lot. Nice expression and bringing character and spirit to the figure.

Ok -- here's my shot, another great bust from Young and the facial expression is great, however -- we have enough F/jaeger busts going around, I hope - IMHO they don't think about producing another WW2 German in future, great to give the work praise but I would rather be honest. What about some WW2 pilot personalities, I know some would be German, but the allies also, some Napoleonic Hussars perhaps, etc - just some examples. Or am I just being pedantic and rambling !?

Well, economics, when I was at VLS anything German WWII would out sell anything else 10 to 1, and it's hard to run a business with those numbers. Every non-German WWII piece would barely break even. So basically the german WWII stuff pays for the production of the non-german WWII stuff..

Consider this also, many armor builders use these pieces as a gateway to miniatures and figures of other genres. The more converts, the wider the demographic!

Never thought about it that way Gordy,many thanks considering I am just finishing some German WW busts and figures, my firsts, I have more interest in North Amer Indian in figures/busts/Vietnam etc, but only recent Germ WW2, and I am expanding into other eras already,I suppose it kind of makes some sense especially for mainstream modelers. Thanks mate.

 

[pinsel]

would be interesting to know what makes the appeal of german miniatures
is it the look of the german steel helmet the uniforms or is it the not to name bad boy image of the german soldier?
for me its the uniform and the weaponry together with the immense varaiation in german field uniforms.
and i like them because they are german like me.
would be interesting to start an thread with the question
do have german figures to you an high appeal and why?
it seems that in all aspects of modelling the german stuff is in front row.
cheers

IMHO
I think some of the past busts are so good they need legs and arms.
I am not a bust man ( you know what I mean) but I would have bought plenty of these figures if they were full figures.
They are really nice busts though
