1/10 scale G.I. Ardennes complete

Hi Dan.  Looking closely at the figure, that metal separation between the front and rear handguards, painted as metal in your excellent depiction, is correct, that is a 1/4 inch (swag) metal band that separates the front wood handguard and the stock at the bottom and the rear handguard at the top.  I hope that's clear, the large "metal" part on the top of the rifle is incorrect, but that narrow metal space on the bottom of your rifle should carry all the way to the top, circling the whole rifle.

Here's a picture, it's an airsoft, not a real rifle, but I think you can see what I am trying to say.  

If that's still unclear, I will dig mine out of the safe and post better pictures, I just found this pic online because it was quicker.

Really, though, that figure is absolutely stunning.  With this minor fix, it is a show stopper.

Let me know if you need any better pictures,

Bill  

Thank you Taco Buff!

Bill, thank you for the kind words and for the correction...I will fix that!

Thanks, Dan 

Your work is incredible. 

One minor point, it's really just a technical issue, but the lower top portion of the Garand rifle depicted in the bust is actually a wood part, not metal.   It's called the rear handguard.Your work is amazing, and I hate to nit pick, but it's all about accuracy, right?

Here's a picture of one off a rifle.

You are an artist, I am merely a technician.

Here is the finished photos of the GI-Ardennes. Talc was added to the paint to give the wool coat texture.

All comments welcome...
