Excellent work Quang. He sure has a bushy beard. I look forward to seeing him painted.

Thank you all for your kind words.

I wanted to keep this in wraps until the painted version is done but my good friend Georges spilled the beans!

You won't believe but it's my first MILITARY subject ever!

The scale is also smaller than the other PiLiPiLi busts. It's approx. 200mm or 1/9. This one is a simpler kit with fewer parts clearly aimed at the painter NOT the builder.

General release is scheduled for May 1st with a small pre-production batch on sale at the SBF show in Brussels next week-end.

Now back to the paintbrushes!


Cheers,
Quang

Marc: No, you didn't miss it at the AMSS. I didn't start the project until the following Monday.

I guess I know what SWMBO is buying me for our anniversary in June

hey geo, il a fallu que tu harcèles Quang alors ?!

N'empêche que pour une première militaire c'est du lourd ... Bravo, bravo.

Vraiment hâte de voir après le passage des pinceaux.

Big John.

Cant believe this is your first military subject, keep them coming Quang.
