"Here is a piece I have recently sculpted for Man Jin Kim's range ST Models

As you can see it depicts a Sergeant of The Royal Warwickshire Regiment leaving for France, probably around 1915. A scene that was replicated all over the country by many hundreds of thousands of men. Sadly many never returned, and a large number were never found, and still litter the killing fields of the western front!

I'm not sure when it will be released, but I am sure MJ will post images when he is ready!

There is still a small amount of cleaning and refining required, but he is done other than that.

Thanks for looking guys, and I hope you like him!

I would also like to take this oportunity wish you all a very Merry Christmas, and a Wonderful and Prosperous 2013!!!

Thank you all for your support, and generous and kind words of encouragement over the last year! "

Great figure, Carl, will be added to my "Must buy" list of 2013.

Oh and thanks for the great year of figures you have crafted and all the best for the festive period as well.

Cheers Buddy!

I'm glad you like them! I hope you and yours have a great Xmas !!

Carl

What a cracking winner Carl.


Congratulations! This is one of those unique pieces that transpires artistic feelings far above our hobby and leaves no one indifferently!


A stunning "must have" as soon as possible! Absolutely brilliant!!!

Awesome!!!

this should have been done at an earlier date.

One of the BESTS of your talented hands !!!
Congratulations Carl.
A must for me !!!

This has to be one of the best new releases for this year and next. Superb piece

A beautiful and very poignant sculpt.

Now that takes the figure modelling to another dimension...simply AMAZING.

Xenofon

Great work Carl, looking forward to this one.

Cheers

I just let it see to the chairman of the house.
two words: BUY IT.
so if it is available please Carl, let us know.

Marc

Fantastic work, Carl!! Some can see the joy of reunion in their faces but, .....I miss the legs!

Nevertheless, really good!!

Cheers Thomas

This is one awesome piece. Cant wait to see some painted versions here.

Sorry mate.
It's not available yet Marc! But I am sure MJ will post images and further information in time!

Carl

Thank you for your kind words guys!
I'm sure MJ will be pleased with the positive response!

There is also an obscure poignancy to this piece, with the modelling community. The Warwicks left for France from Folkestone. As we all know it is also the home of EuroMilitaire!

Anyway Guys thanks again for your compliments!

Carl

You could be right. But there is an arguement to say its too early. Given its the Centenary in 2014...
So I guess you never be right or wrong with releases, you launch when you think is best and hope its well receieved.

Carl

Carl, You can't wait till August next year, even it is 100 years ago when the world set on fire.
I finished the Virginian, and I need a new challenge from you......
