    Hi all here is the WIP shots of the next bust from Offo. This is a Austro Hungarian Alpine trooper 1916. It’s about 90% finished. I should have photos by the weekend. Till then here is the first shots of him.

    It will be on the TFB Miniatures website soon.

    Hi Steve

    He is a clever sculptor , if I may ..it's a real shame the medal is covered ...can't he rework the marksmanship cords etc

    Look forward to seeing the style of belt plate ?

    Any pouches planned ?

    Which reference is Offo using ?


    It will paint up well

    Thanks for the preview it's appreciated

    Hi nap thank you for the kind words, the bust is 90% finished from what I’ve been told he still has work to do on the belts and other bits.
    The medal I will ask but I think he has set the the straps now but will see.

    As for reference he used multiple reference. Some we sent and the rest he has sought out. It’s going to be a beautiful piece when finished for sure. I know when you get yours it’s going to be pushing putty time . But I don’t know how much you can change? But I’m sure you will have a go

    Hi folks

    Posting this from Steve Headley.

    Hi all just to let you know I’ve made a bit of a mistake with regards to the Bust. I thought it was based on the Trooper I gave the back story to but I have since been informed that it’s a generic Alpine Trooper and that it’s not the said gentleman. This is totally my fault. I thought it was as the photo we used as an example and then we were given the back story of the person which fitted so my mistake.

    This does not detract from the fact that the bust uniform and equipment are correct it’s just the face and the badges my differ from the photo.

    But it’s still a tribute to the Austro Hungarian Alpine troopers who fought in WW1. Once again thank you for your understanding with this mix up.
