Verlinden 200mm British Trench Raider Bust

[Deleted member 6559]

Quite excited about this one. As you can see, a 200mm trench raider by Verlinden.

The contents of the box:



Another beautiful moulding of a nice clean sculpt. The face is a bit comically mean and determined, but I don't mind that. Looks huge after the 1/16 bust I've just done.

Some reference:

Not sure I'd like to meet him on a dark night!!!! Miserable bu**er!
I know that you don't agree, but you always exceed the artwork on these Verlinden figures, so no intimidation there!! Have fun and watch out for that club. He looks business like!

He's after a picklehaube this time Andy!

Of course I don't agree re the Verlinden box art, although this example isn't as good as some of the others. He definitely needs some dirt and grime as well.

All put together:

Hi Scottie. Should be fun.

 

[Steve Jones]

Arrived in the nick of time. A lot of charater in this chap. Permission to carry on

 

[Andy Belsey]

I think he's after the 'Fritz' inside the Picklehaube for interrogation too!!

Steve - Face tomorrow.

Andy - That's right, and any beer and cigarettes that happen to be lying around.

 

[Steve Brodie]

chair pulled up, mulled wine and mice pies at the ready - though i quite despise mulled wine.

 

[stillp]

I'm not keen on mice pies either.

 

[Deleted member 6559]

Steve - OK. How about a glass of port with your mince pies?

Pete - Would Christmas cache do?

The face:

Looking good Peter .

 

[Andy Belsey]

I know Peter loves me lowering the tone - well maybe? The newer take on the sows ear thing is..... "You can't polish a turd, but you can roll it in glitter!!" Sorry Peter - well maybe. (I'm just rude.)
Andy

Richard - Not a looker is he? Still, it takes all sorts. Can you put soup in the post?

Ralph - Thank you.

Andy - Whatever tone there was has definitely been lowered! Potty-brain.

As of lunchtime today:

 

[scottie3158]

Pete,
looking good.

 

[Steve Jones]

Wonderful work Peter. I must say though, I too would look like him if someone had cut my hand off as well! LOL

 

[JR]

Afternoon Peter just reporting in from gardening duties, was nearly looking like him.

Goes with out saying that the face you have painted knocks the spots off the box art.

 

[Deleted member 6559]

Scottie - Cheers. Just finished the back of the hood and put in the last line of stitches - took me much longer than I thought it would.

Stevie J - Yes, it must have hurt.

John - Thank you. I'm really enjoying this one. 200mm (1/9) is much kinder to the eyes as well.
