A blob of plasticene was added to the back ,then rolled out putty set on the form and worked in.

Good stuff mate. The only thing I can think of is, 'Are they laughing/smiling?' I have seen pictures of my wife's late grandfather in similar poses from his service in the Pacific, and they all have the biggest grins you ever saw. Just a thought.

I have seen images too without smiles but a satisfied look none the less.Its all a matter of interpretation.

Once again, brilliant. When will this work of art be available it should go well with you US Marine stretcher dio. Given any more thought to the Wanna Ridge , Okinawa 1945 idea?

What is the Wanna Ridge?.

Trying to attach a photo. Wanna ridge- 1st Marine div. is fighting on Okaniawa. Would be great in 75mm. Photo is public domain.

I think Moz modelled the tommy gunner based from this image in 1/16 sometime ago.
