1st Marine Division Guadalcanal

[Robert Jan de Wit]

Hello all

I finished this figure today. A US marine during the battle of Guadalcanal 1942/1943.
A small conversion of an the Bodi resin figure in scale 1:35.
Painted with Humbrols.

Thanks for watching.
regards,
Robert Jan

One of those simple,but effective figures...reminds me of the Desert Rat from Hornet.

Hi!
Very nice work indeed.
The groundwork helps a lot in giving a notion of the soldier's location.

Hi Robert

Such a simple figure , effective and very well painted , nice weathering , like the contrast on the clothing and the Basework

Always good to see your artwork

Just brilliant. That apparently simple uniform is anything but. Groundwork is exceptional, too.

 

[Viking Bob]

Superb.

Everything Nap said. Looks a bit clean for Guadalcanal to me (maybe they had a good laundry) but beautifully painted and staged. Great how you've made such a potentially drab figure come alive.
