i would think that you could any weapon of the 19th and 20th centuries and his clothes would not change, SMLE,Noisin Naganr, Mauser.would look look good to me.

Great sculpt! I like it bust!
You can add Chinese AK-47 or US M-16 gun in kit as a conversion in modern or Soviet-Afghan war era Afghan warrior.

Thanks Guys!

I'm pleased you like him, This piece really is a blank canvas. The piece can be painted very simply or you can really go to town on him and paint him to death, with all the embroidery on the coat, and gingham pattern on the turban. then of course the Jazail with all the marquetry inlays! It can be painted as you wish!
Here are some examples of the Marquetry on the jerzail!

It may help a little....



Cheers

Carl
