Thanks for all of the very kind comments! A little update:
The face is finished and the head has been glued on the figure. I have painted the buckles and toned down a little of the shadows around the belts.

Lovely work, great execution.
Though it does bring back the sad feeling I had when Manta Figurines called it a day last year, that guy's an excellent sculptor.
Looking forward to seeing that diorama!

Thanks Mark! Yes, Christophe is indeed a Talented sculptor! The sad thing is that I know he is still sculpting French and probably Lafayette Escadrille pilots for himself!

He is? That's frustrating to hear! Maybe he and Richard Aviattic should get together and work something out...
Oh well, I'm glad he's still creating

In my last contact with Christophe he mentioned he was working on Navarre, I think, and he Loves the Lafayette Flyers so had plans to do them for his collection.

PS: I did give Christophe Richards E Mail addy so I am assuming There was no interest on Christophes part?
