Verlinden 200mm Werner Molders Bust

[Deleted member 6559]

Back down in scale for my next one and here is Verlinden's bust of Luftwaffe ace, Werner Molders. He's depicted wearing the Luftwaffe pattern sheepskin jacket with detachable fur collar:



A four part kit:



Nice of them to supply the peak of the cap separately, making it easier to get at the eyes.

Morning Peter
Slightly difficult to see from the box art but it looks to be a good likeness.

Looks a nice bust?? Hopefully it will go together well. Looking forward to seeing how you tackle the whites. I'm starting to use Vallejo Ensign White now which is a nice shade of white you might want to look at.

Looks like a good one Peter.....

Steve, what is the range/code for VJ ensign white? Can’t find it on the colour charts For game or model colour.....

Sorry chaps, a total dud. Really, really awful face. Looked more like E.T. than Molders. Binned!

Peter, I waited for you to say that. I just couldn't. Verlinden sculps of well known people are always suspect. This time I'm glad you binned it.

Cheers,
Richard

Cheers Richard. It really was a shocker.

Sorry to hear about the bad sculpt Peter. I have this spare head you can use if you want me to post it out to you



Tim - Soz mate. My bad. Its Vallejo Insignia White 71279 . I was close! They both have "sign" in their titles
