| CL-01 | "Compassion" - Moments
in War, 200 mm scale (1/9) resin kit
sculpted by Mark Ricketts. This piece represents an actual scene from
history, where a WW2, American Infantry Lieutenant is shown comforting one
of his young soldiers; who has just seen his best friend killed in action.
More info below: "Compassion" aims to reveal to the viewer how even the strongest and most courageous of people can need solace and kindness during times of high conflict. It demonstrates that the common stereotype of the hardened soldier, during a time of war, is misleading and that a warrior can show the deepest care for his brothers-in-arms. When the original photo that inspired this vignette was printed in the media during World War II, it contained a caption that read "While enemies go to heaven, I stay in hell". Here's a photo taken from the cover of Military Modeling magazine depicting this kit in painted version. This version of the popular magazine depicts an article about painting this kit by Rob Henden.

| CL9002 | "Storm
Child" 1/18th scale (100 mm scale) resin & white metal kit.
Sculpted by Roy Hunt, this piece won "Best of Show" at Euro-Militaire
in 2007. This piece depicts a little Japanese girl who survived the H-Bomb dropped on Hiroshima. She walks about the city, which was loaded with radiation, with only an umbrella and nurses mask for protection! Her picture was taken, walking with her friends, who all subsequently succumbed to the effects of the blast. This image and sculpture is so poignant that it had to be a commercial figure as a reminder of what must never happen again! |
