John,
Absolutely beautiful artistry my friend. I'm so much on a steep learning curve when it comes to figures I hope to someday be half as good at it as you. Regards, Gregory Jouette |

At last - Mick in miniature
Hawk
Most excellent job, mate. About time someone manufactured a model of the great ace. I shall be getting myself a Mannock bust eventually. If I can paint him half as good as the yours I'll be happy. I'd love to see Mannock done as a full figure in 1/32 by Mike Good. Also, a good Albert Ball rendition would be appreciated.  Regards Syd

One more thing has sprung to mind regarding mi' bust (ooh... Matron!). The plaque gets made to your requirements.... I must claim, in all modesty, (
 ) 'King of Airfighters' woz my idea.Spiteful Hun Lovers could still fondle their own bust, maybe inscribed...
'Hope he sizzled all the way down.'   |

Syd,
I am looking at offering these busts in a different way shortly. So hang fire if you dont fancy painting one yourself. Also my sculpter has nearly completed the next bust in the series so as soon as I can I will post some pictures.. Ginger, You should see my cabinet at the moment I have Mannock and McCudden (both a white and painted versions), which does make for a nice display around the Corgi SE5. |
