1:48th WWI Wedgie/Vignette

Hi guys, its me again........I'm posting last year's joint project (it was the 1st infact) with my bro.........its on PlanetFigure and you can find it in my vBench.......

Warm Regards

Ray

["My brother delivered "the goods" and as you can see I had some fun shooting from eight possible angles to try and capture the most out of this setting which was named
"Flying still.......?" bearing in mind the short life expectancy of these early fighter pilots during WWI.

It was an enjoyable joint project which I hope will not be the last........it has to be the start to quite a few infact

Warm Regards to all..........

Ray"]

Those were two of the very first 1/48 scale figures I sculpted some 13 years ago. Some may remember this magazine cover from way back then:



For those who prefer 1/32nd scale, I am in the process of doing a redux of these figures for an anonymous manufacturer. Old is the new new!

The Dragon DVII (the only reasonably good kit available at the time) was built by an old friend, John Bernier.

Cheers!!

Excellent figures. I still have 4 boxes left from a set I bought 7 yrs ago. Ltn Hans Pippart would have been proud.

Lost and Found

I had this set some years ago and lost it,luckily I found them in a box of my kids Toys(how they got there I have no Idea). Anyway I am not sure if this set is still available, but I do hope they release them in 32nd scale.
