Excellent work Stephen!!! That assualt rifle is awesome! It looks like it would definitely ruin someones day :lol:
Thanks guys fopr the response. It helps after 6 weeks of mind busting over this one. I'll try to answer some questions. Sorry to dissappoint you but this figure will not go on the market ( even though if I ask my clients tehy would probably let go of a few ). It is a master for a branch of the Italian Carabinieri and most of them will be cold casted. But I want to paint one nonethe less. If I do it will be in acrylics. Just don't know when !!
The figure represents an Italian Carabiniere MSU ( Multinational Support Unit ) in actual service in Iraq and it's in 120mm. It was mainly sculpted in MS and some Duro

Stephen, I think it's beautifully done. Wonderful detail especially the weapon. I'm also impressed with the boots and assault vest.
One thing I wonder about; The weapon seems a little out of scale to the figure. Forgive my ignorance of the weapon, but is this a regular 7.62 assault rifle, or a squad level machine gun? If it's the fromer, the receiver seems too bulky. If the latter, maybe not.
