This is my rendition of Lt. Erwin Rommel after receiving his Blue Max in 1917, after the Battle of Caporetto. This figure is modeled in two-part putty and painted in a combination of acrylics and enamels. I hope I did him justice.

Dave

You did. That is an excellent piece and a very interesting version of him. Like it lots.

Thank you very much. I kinda "screwed the pooch" when I tried to post the pictures earlier (operator error), so I didn't finish the description I was going to put with them. He is wearing a M 1915 officer's Klienerrock (undress uniform) for the Wurttembergisches Gebirgsschutzen. The scale of the bust is approximately 200 mm.

Dave

Nice.

Nice work all round.

Very well done!
The likeness is very good.Good you put his head on my 120mm Rommel?

You have made a very good rendition Dave, this version of the character is not so known. I like it.

Military miniatures painted by Eduardo Garcia

Very well sculpted and painted Dave.
Super skills.
All the best,
Keith

Thank you all for the positive comments. Unfortunately, I just found a solid reference that indicated the buttons should be silver, not gilt, so I'll have to make a quick modification to him.

Isn't that just always the way.
All that research and something pops up out of the blue.
It's still a great piece though.
Keith

Great piece indeed. Also the subject is very unique. Well done.

Completed again, but with silver buttons.
