I’m not a figure painter, but I’m going to give this a go.

It needs some filling and sanding before I can start painting.

A nice looking figure Ian - who is the manufacturer? Will enjoy watching this come together.

Thanks For the interest Peter, I’m not sure who the manufacturer is. I got it off EBay. But if you look for 1/16 120mm ww2 WWII British soldier/infantry with enfiled. You may know or find out who it was.

Hi Ian

the sculpter looks to have given up when he got to the arms - the few creases that are there are not very convincing

will you be doing some rectification?

Looks like he will need some work before the paint flies - mould line down his face, no thumb, pin holes, rifle muzzle

Good luck with it

Your wright Simon. Plenty of work to do, and I’ll try my best.

That's a shame as starting to look good with some paint on Ian.

It will get finished John.

Just a quickie mate; the straps on the anklets were leather, not webbing, and more often than not were black boot polished rather than Blanco'd. Will give you a little more visual interest with the brass buckles becoming more prominent!
