Deyun Hobby 10th MountainDiv

[Macca G]

A lucky find at a swap meet a few years ago that I finally got around to doing. Deyun Hobby's 120mm resin 10th Mountain rifleman. I made the US flag patch on the right shoulder out of lead foil. The M4 sling is plastic strip and the microphone chord for the radio was a bit of copper wire bent around a brass pin. Painted in acrylics and weathered with Mig pigments and artists pastels. He depicts a rifleman from 1st Bn, 87th Infantry Regt, 10th Mountain Div on Operation Anaconda in Afghanistan 2002.

Not a figure or a company I'm familar with. Nevertheless you've done an outstanding job and he looks very lifelike. I love the subtlety of the faded camo and the "dusty" look, which is very effective without being overdone. Great work!

If you live in QLD you probably got him from me
Airbourne miniatures may have done a few for that company some of the figures look like his work

Nice work Graham!

As Steve said, great work on the paint, and you got the dusty look just right mate.

Well done!


Cheer's,
Jeff.

A good score from PX. There was a range of about 5 or so modern American figures before they were moved on to Airborne Miniatures.

Got it myself in my stash. Is it any good?

 

[John Bowery]

Nicely done and weathered.

Better than Verlinden, but not as good as an Alpine kit if that makes sense. The M4 was slightly warped along its whole length, so I straightened it by immersing in hot water and bending straight when the resin was soft. It's a bit tricky getting a flush join between the right wrist and sleeve cuff so I hollowed out the cuff with a dremel to get a better fit. Apart from a small bit of filler on the arm/shoulder joins its a great kit.

Ok. Thanks for the review Got three of Deyuns figures in my stash....

 

[MrBMB]

Yep probably was me px Brisbane I still have most of the other figures in the type of uniform era from that company

 

[Macca G]

If your willing to part with them I know a few people who may be interested
