Very interesting. I'd like to see it in 1/35th scale painted and unpainted.

I'm with Bill on that one; though they look so good that's almost a formality. Wow.

The finished figure is stunning but I have to wonder about carrying both a Thompson and a BAR. At 30+ lbs that’s a lot of ordnance to be lugging around for a long period of time. Is this sculpt based on a period photograph?

Thanks for the link. Interesting discussion. It is a period photograph and to my eye he’s carrying both a BAR and a Thompson. Total badass, love it!

The body and legs are resin and the rest is metal. There is two heads included. One for the helmet and the other for a soft cover. There is a metal rock texture base included.

What colors would be recommend in the Tamiya or Vallejo range for the uniform and boots?
