Hey chaps. Reading through this and I managed to find a picture of Julie Ludman of French company, Model Miniatures:

I think she worked as PR for the company and was a fine photographer. A few straps and guns (and a cwazy wabbit) and she'd be a dead ringer.

COR yea Peter SHE is a cracker an yea she'd be a dead ringer for this build but do you know if Si finished it in the end ? as it deseved to be with the (and a cwazy wabbit) :smiling::smiling::smiling:

Edit - My very bad - looks like she owned and founded the company. Model Miniatures made a 1/72 figure of her, as supplied with one of their kits:

I remember she used to post to the site from time to time with military stuff

Yes she did Mick , how on earth she managed to get invited to so many French Army maneuvers I just can't imagine. :smiling3:

Very nice Simon, pity about the brushes , causing that reaction.

Prolly her photag skills JR:smiling2:.
I keep my sable & man made bristle brushes separate & use them accordingly until the man mades are trimmed/worn down to a nub & not replaced as the sable seems to work fine w/acrylics. PaulE

She could show up with a Kodak Instamatic .........that my friends is "Pure Eye Candy"!..........She's the reason the French Army looks so good on "Parade Day".

 

[SimonT]

Thank you all for the interest (although I'm sure a lot of the interest is aimed elsewhere than my model :smiling5: )

She is still here and not forgotten at all but I need to be in the right frame of mind for having another go

If I don't feel like doing it and try to force paint it then it will definitely be a disaster rather just likely be a disaster

Looking at the pictures I have spotted some small defects that will need rectifying as well

May the FORCE be with you Mr.T:smiling5: Rick H.

[Tim Marlow]

Well I’ve just had a reread of this as a tribute, and it has it all…..perseverance, improving the breed, blood, witticisms, just exactly what Simon was about! RIP mate, you are sorely missed!

 

[Jim R]

Yes Tim. This thread really is Simon in a nutshell :tongue-out3:

 

[Steve Jones]

Its amazing that a whole year has passed since Simon passed away. Still missed deeply and always remembered especially when I am scratch building. God bless you Mr T.

Perfect comment Steve!

 

[Mini Me]

Gone but not forgotten...........I would have liked to got my hands on that Wabbit and Miss Julie.....the two of them were really giving Simon some serious Greif.......I was surprised that he didn't bin this project after the first couple of structural failures and chalked it up to bad resin......not his style. Miss you Mr. "T"
