Title: Richthofen & Moritz by Elan13 Miniatures
Post by: elanlane on August 31, 2015, 05:52:21 AM

Here are some smudgy  snaps of a pair I recently sculpted  for Elan13. The figure is of Manfred von Richthofen and his dog Moritz. Manfred and Moritz have been done before several times (Mike Good's version for Model Cellar is my all-time favourite 1/32 figure) but I wanted to include them in my WW1 pilots range, so I followed a well known image of the two, which showed the affection the great man had for his dog.
Scale: 1:32
It was painted by Edward Sage

Beautiful. I like this one even more then Mike's sculpting (and that is a beauty to be hold).
