    Thanks Andy, I was already wondering if it was von Schleich, just by the likeness of your sculpt! Great, another ace to add to the gallery!

    Andy ,
    Great likeness , I particularly like the leather coat with all the creasing very effective , look forward to seeing this painted .
    In the photo reference he is wearing a "Blue Max" is there one going to be with the bust , as I can't see one ..but is is early !!!
    Have you a UK distributor for your busts ?

    Keep sculpting its great .

    Andy, excellent sculpt and a great likeness, I also like the leather jacket effect.
    Nap. I'm sure Steve at S.K minatures stocks Andy's range. I'm sure either one will confirm.

    Cheers Ken
