Hi to all ,
Life Miniatures have been fairly quiet recently but have been beavering away getting the new release ready and that's what I am looking at here .
The release was advised briefly by fellow PF member Martin Rohmann here
In addition it was also put on FB and the Life Miniatures page by the owner Sang-Eon Lee
Life Miniatures are of course well respected for their series of busts many which have been reviewed here on PF and also the previous release of a new beginners series of busts which I reviewed here as well http://www.planetfigure.com/threads/panzer-commander-life-miniature-beginners-series.81376/.
With this release Sang-Eon Lee has moved into full figures and a larger scale as well
The subject :
Now you might slightly recognise the subject , based on a character in the film " Fury" and starring Brad Pitt as the tank commander in a sherman during WW2 , those that have seen it will know its an action packed story .
Initial Thoughts
My first were the subject has been released before in bust form and that was popular but now the full figure modellers have been catered for .
A straight up and down sculpt not in an action pose which is nice to see , allowing the painter to really bring the best out .
It would have been nice to have had a 2nd option head with the tanker helmet
This is a good piece to pose with a section of tank behind him or as a single figure
Both Sculpting and Casting quality are right up there with the best .
Details of the release:
Title: War Daddy ( WW2 US Tank Commander )
Reference: LM-16001
Scale: 1/16th
Material: Gray Resin
No of parts: 8
Sculptor: Sang-Eon Lee
Box Art: N/A
Presentation is in a high quality cardboard box with the contents inbetween good foam surrounds with the smaller pieces in a bag the others nestling nicely in the formed foam.
On the box top and the surrounds we have unpainted pictures of the piece ( box art is not available at this time)
The box was also shrink wrapped in a tight film.
Parts consist of the main full torso , head , 2 arms , 2 boots , pistol ( top part ) and holster.
Prep
On all pieces removal of casting plugs in easy to get at and well thought out positions.
On the review piece the inner gloved hands had a small hole ,easily filled if you wish but they do not show when in position.
Very little work needed as you can see it is worth mentioning again that this was sculpted with skill and flair by Sang-Eon Lee , he has paid particular attention to details which we will see more of later on .
For now lets have some reference pictures of that fellow Brad Pitt
