Firestorm Models have released a new 1/35 scale resin figure of a modern protester/civilian throwing a rock.

This looks very similar to another figure they have throwing a rock.. but this one looks better, and has the possibility of being turned into a street fighter with a weapon.

A bow and arrow for example

Maybe the two dead guys were friends of his..... Seriously though, I think he would look more natural if his left arm were bent a little across his chest and maybe the arm with the rock be raised just a little.When you rare back to throw something hard and far, you would be more wound up at the waist and if right handed the left foot would be slightly off the ground. As it is he is standing in the clasic hand grenade throwing position that we teach in the military and not likely to toss a rock quite like that. Otherwise I think he is a pretty good figure.Just my 2 pennies worth.

He could do with a hooded top and some form of scarf covering his face. Maybe a petrol bomb in his hand too, or half a house brick.
