First step:





This 1/48 Douglas Bader figure is waiting impatiently for his Spitfire to arrive from ebay.co.uk, feeling rather angry for the Budapest airport workers who stopped working for higher salary thus increasing the chance for his Spitfire getting lost in this bloody chaos.

This is not gonna be a populated diorama like my other ones. Just him, his Spitfire on a piece of grass, and maybe a DFC replica medal.

PS: I truly hate taking photos of my models. They look very good in real life / real size, but these photos are so hi-res, it turns out they don't look that good at all . Therefore I placed a penny in front of him for you to see the actual size of the figure. FYI the figure on the pictures is 3 times bigger than in reality.

Wait..here is it in real size:

Looks good to me, mate. Where's his pipe though? :wink:

Baetiful, but in the nose are something wrong.

[ILV_Aquila_Noctis]

What sort of coin is that in front of him? Just to get a better comparison...looks goot, though....

[Ivan Putski]

Looks good reflected.

Thanks guys, that's a british penny. The 3rd picture is 1:1 size.

I agree with you about taking pictures of models, they never turn out as good as the model is! And WOW is that what Bader looks like!? (boy is he fat). I made Baders spitfire, you can find it here www.wings-on-fire.piczo.com
