Argh!  I've been looking for these Biggles books!! Where can I get them??

The mini is great!  The limited edition is hard to come by but the Copplestone one is good enough.

I think most Biggles books are available as reprints (published by House of Stratus). Try Amazon....

Cheers,
Hagen

BTW: the covers of the reprints suck. There is a webpage out there with all the original covers - very nice. I'll post a link if I find it...

Ok. Here it is: http://www.biggles.info/. The covers AND the story illustrations.....

Thanks!  :oops:

But I don't like that "mine is better than yours" stuff... My mini is different. Just that... Your work is also very good. I painted the glasses observing how the eminent Prof. Witchheimer paints glasses in his minis...  :)

I apologise for not displaying the miniature. For some reason I can't seem to get it to work......



Works if you use the image-address (http://www.dminis.com/images/img.1154008830868.jpg) instead of the page address. :wink:

This is your first human sculpt and it is 15mm!? Absolutely great! I wonder what you could do in 28mm!

Cheers,
Hagen

I don't recall a description of Von Stalhein, but - since I don't think he had one arm, a peg leg or an eyepatch - a broad selection of German officers would suit Biggles' arch-nemesis.

I'm glad I don't have an arch-nemesis. Lief is difficult enough as it stands. H  :?

"Life' is difficult. "Lief" is a Norwegian.

I think Von Stalhein wore a monocle, was really fast, and excellent at close quarters.  In one book - "Biggles Flies East" - he disguises his physical abilities by carrying a walking stick, and deliberately walking with a very pronounced limp.

Perhaps, one of these monocle-wearing chaps might do:

Copplestone - German Mercenaries set


Pulp Figures - Zeppelin Crew set
