A Fixture
Again, WIP, although much further along. A BAR-toting North China Marine. The period is sometime in the mid-1930s. The hat and boots are from Alan Ball's superb Marine lieutenant. The helmet, BAR and canteen are from (I think) The Lost Battalion. The head is D.J. Parkin. The pose comes (partially) from Osprey 327, G3, one of Darko Pavlovic's outstanding illustrations in that book.
I need to add buckles and complete the rifle strap at the back and there are one or two places that need to be revised.
The ground will be changed completely. I'm going to grind most of the detail off and lay square paving stones. I'd like to do something to set off the groundwork, but can't think of anything - suggestions?
Comments and critique welcome!
All the best,
Dan
