Could we perhaps see a Meyer or Witt figure coming soon?

Maybe....

Awesome!

Man-Jin Kim already wrote a book. It's called MJ's Figure Art Vol. 1, but maybe your point is it doesn't cover WWII subjects. Still a good book.

Like I said, I ordered two sets already. It would be really awesome if Taesung could do some seated figures.

Taesung, Nice to see that your standards are not dropping but actually seem to be getting better! Max looks cool. This is the way he looked right after the failed night attack on the Canadian positions north west of Caen. He and Meyer learned that night that they were facing a different enemy than the Russians! The head wound was from a splinter caused when a Canadian projectile hit the front of a Panther that Wunsche was guiding back onto the highway. There is a well known pic of Wunsche Meyer and Witt the next day sirring at a table outdoors and I always wonered what was being talked about? Perhaps a dressing down for the large amount of personel and equipment losses the night before? J

Hi Taesung! Your figures are GREAT!!! Couldn't we see General George S. Patton done in several of his different uniforms? To my knowledge, no one has ever done Gen. Patton without a jacket as he was seen in Tunisia or in Sicily- There are several widely published photos of Gen. Patton dressed in his "Pinks": In shirtsleeves, and riding breeches (no "Ike" jacket), his trademark Sam Browne Belt with the 2 holstered revolvers and binoculars, highly polished US ARMY 3-buckled Elk-hide Cavalry Boots, topped off with his Flat Olive Drab M1 Steel helmet. There are also several photos of Patton in Tunisia, sitting on a big rock, watching a battle. He is wearing the same "Pinks". In addition, he is wearing what appears to be a heavy leather Irvine fleece-lined jacket, and his Flat Olive Drab M1 Helmet... For something really different, couldn't we see a figure of Japanese Lieutenant General Masaharu Homma? There are several photos and illustrations of Lt.Gen. Homma sitting on a chair with his hands resting on his Samurai Sword. He is wearing his IJA Open-collared Uniform jacket with white shirt opened at the neck and the IJA-pattern Pith Helmet, with of course, IJA Officers' Riding Breeches and Boots... Please..? Maybe it could be a whole new line for you- A 1/35 Famous Generals Series? There are numerous sets of Generals done in plastic, but none of them do the real men any justice. I think with your talents in sculpting faces, we'd finally have accurate representations of these famous military men... Thanks for reading...

Thank you, I didn't know that. Subjects don't matter, as I'm interested in his general techniques.

Alpine figs are always great, but I'd rather see some 1/35 U-boat or S-boat crew.
