Is that an Australian Mk2 bipod group on the gun?

 

[gordy]

Awesome Andy I dig the slouch hat

 

[amcairns]

Gidday,
A machete and water bottle have been added to the side of the figure which creates some angle when viewed from the front.You will find that quite complex angles and compostion form as your sculpting progesses that all add to the final sculpt.comments welcome.
