Hi everyone
Time to share the latest release from
...its been a while since a release from them or should I say him as this is very much a hardworking member of this forum ...I refer of course to Felipe Margem ( use ID fmargem )
Felipe has released previously including a WW1 bust that I looked at here:
https://www.planetfigure.com/threads/ww1-german-home-guard-from-hq-model-kits.79011/
Now I don't know about you but I am not aware of too many casters in Brazil where Filipe lives so sensibly items are produced and despatched from Florida in the USA , under licence.
The release was announced by Felipe here
https://www.planetfigure.com/threads/lt-geoffrey-h-malins-1-9th-scale-bust.129528/
The last bust was a WW1 and so is this one , but something different again ........depicting a man who created perhaps the most famous of depictions of WW1 newsreels/films
Arthur "Geoffrey" Herbert Malins (18 November 1886 – 1940) was a British film director most famous for camera and editing work on the 1916 war film The Battle of the Somme, which combined documentary and propaganda, and reached an audience of over 20 million viewers.
Filmed using a cumbersome Moy and Bastie 35mm Cine Camera ( 16"long, 9"wide , 18" high , heavy and with a awkward tripod
Malins published an account of his wartime filming in 1920 entitled How I Filmed the War.
The book conveys the extremely dangerous conditions under which Malins worked .
In it Malins described his own feelings towards the Battle of the Somme's initial reception in Britain:
"I really thought that some of the dead scenes would offend the British public. And yet why should they? It is only a very mild touch of what is happening day after day, week after week, on the bloody plains of France and Belgium ... the British public did not object to these realistic scenes in the film. They realised that it was their duty to see for themselves."
In June 1918, Malins was awarded an OBE. The citation commended his work as official photographer "in circumstances of great difficulty and danger
Filming was also carried out by other nations:
Other film unit members showing camera used
Lt Malins
The later shows Lt J B McDowel on the right again with the M & B camera
The bust is sculpted wearing a trenchcoat , of course there were many variations , issue and private purchase
Shown wearing the Mk1 helmet
