Dear Planeters,

At this autumn a Hungarian retired couple said me they would like to give a special gift for their grandchildren, because there is no difference between the games in the world. The "World" is an important keyword in this case because the children's parents - like many other of my fellow citizens - in Australia are trying to luck (of course with the children), and since two years they first come home for Christmas (Australia is not so close to us). After consultations with members of my family, I concluded that the two painted "product" is not able to do anything with the seven and nine year old guys. Therefore, I sculpted and moulded more samples and made a grage kit and painted two figures. So the kids can try aour hobby. (Rarely can man build himself.)
When you look the images you can ask, how this dresses? The smaller guy wants to be a submariner and the larger pilot. I choosed a photo on which they are standing next to each other for the scale. The size is about 90 mm. It was very important similarity between the faces. My friend Miklós Páli "Sokol" helped me by this area. The clothing design was not difficult. The whole job took about four weeks while the paintwork six day.
On 24th December I delivered the "goods" and I was curious about reactions. As was expected, the higher was more satisfied with , the smaller one said that this is not my face. :lol: The happiest were the parents, and this was also good. (I should add, I have not met them personally, and I heard about this only indirectly.)
By the way it was a nice job for me and thanks for Sokol for his help.

Very cool! Good story and I'm glad the customers liked the figures...

Thank you guys!

I know the paintjob is not perfect, but my time was too short. By the way costumers like it.

Cheers,
