Sculpted figure of Imperial German Pour le Mérite Ace Rudolf Berthold (Kaiserlisher Kampf-Flieger Oberleutnant Rudolf Berthold)
Make a face with a portrait likeness of this scale is difficult for me. I tried. Came to my mind at seventy-thirty.

And so
1/72 (growth from heels to crown 23,3 mm).
Material oven-hardening polymer clay SuperSculpey Firm and Premo (50/50)
Moustache and cigarette should be added during painting.



Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Boris:

This is really a remarkable piece of work! Bravo!

You must have incredibly steady hands and excellent eye sight. The definition of the medals is superb.

Have you done other pilots?

Cheers!

If the buyer will allow me I will show in the future other pilots.
