It's going to be a bust 1/9 200 mm
The first world war. Soldier flees in attack, I don't know yet what it's going to be a soldier, possibly German in August 1914. And perhaps Russian for the same period of time. He is left handed

I can't confidently say this, I don't know who will be his to make. I don't want to make copies of itself.
 
Fex ,

This is an interesting start , loads of animation with the soldier already looing like he us moving , nice start on the facial features ..if its going to be a german will he have the pickelhaube on ?

Watching this with interest

Thanks for sharing

Very nice start, I could see him as a German wearing a pickelhaube.
You didn't mention French, but he would also make a nice French officer wearing their red kepi and raising his left arm waving his men forward, with a pistol or sword in his right hand, leading one of those desperate bayonet charges against the early German offensives.
 
at the beginning I wanted to make the Prussian kirassira 1760, which jumps to attack and holding in his right hand broadsword, but think it would be bad to sell, so I thought I'd do a soldier in the first world war. and I will make later cavalryman-maybe this is a Cossack
 
How about a German Lancer or French Cuirassier ( they were still in combat at the start of WWI). I always thought the German Lancers helmets were interesting. This guy even has the mustache to match yours!

I like where you are going with it! Sabre or lance in the right hand?
Two things, though. First, and of course others can chime in, but I think the head and body proportions are a little off, the body looks a bit small for the head. It could just be the angle of the frontal photos giving that appearance. And I think his neck looks a little thick.
Can't wait to see more.
 
If you're looking for something interesting, remember uhlan nco's carried a pennon with the state badge not just the colour. e.g Prussian eagle on white ground rather than just black over white. Here are Hesse, Saxony and Bavaria
