very nicely done. He better be careful loading that garand or he's gona get a bad case of M1 Thumb lol

He looks pretty good.  The rifle should be back further in his left hand though.  His right thumb should be touching or just above the clip as he is pushing it in to reload.  Where it is now, the clip will fall out if he is not holding/touching it.

Great pose! Love the culvert base, I think you did an excellent job with the mouth shading! Capitol job with the face overall. Thanks for posting!

Who makes that kit? Great sculpting,exept for that left hand thumb.

I think you did an excellent job with the mouth shading!

He, Model Maniac, didn't do any of it.  He is simply a collector who buys pieces built by others.  He posts them here looking for everyone to tell them how great they are.

Rambo, thanks for your kind compliments.

Arty, that's some compliments and they look surreal, but thanks anyway. I just couldn't believe my eyes when I saw that it was you. Probably the first nice words ever in 12 years. Are you high on pot or something now that they've legalized it in some states? (just kidding). As for the position of the gun, I'm not sure whether the gun and the left hand are separate parts or not. If not, then its position is fixed.  

highlanderburial, thanks for your kind words.

Raualduke, if I knew I would have told already. This is not the original kit, it's a Chinese copy.

Thank you for the reply

Very impressive work there, I love the skin detail and the shading on the uniform. And did PJ paint the flag on the shoulder? Very nice detail work there.

Sorry just don't get the attitude toward MM sometimes, he lists the artist at the top first thing. If he were having someone else build and paint them and claim he did it I'd have an issue but he's honest about having someone else build them. And I like seeing the different stuff he posts here.

Frankly maybe I should hire someone like PJ to do my stuff, this is a lot better than my general results.  

Raualduke, you're welcome.

Gamera, thanks for your kind comments. Yes, PJ painted them all, flag included.

If you can find someone in your area then it may worth trying. In Bangkok we have a lot of artists

and this month I hire two more who are friends of my recent builders.
