Andy, over all this is a nice pose and interesting subject. The thumb on the hand looks too short. It looks as if it is missing the middle segment. The shape is nice, but too short IMO. He also looks a tad "rough". Like the shirt and such could use a tad bit of cleanup in the nooks and crannies. Over all a great effort though!

Very nice figure

Hi Andy,

I saw a pose similar to a drawing/photo (Mil Illustrated?) on the Marcel Bigeard figure. Damned good sculpting. If I may comment, perhaps you can beef him up around the chest. The gentleman in question appeared to be bulkier.

Hi Andy,

great sculpt, the face is especially, great attitude. I agree with Jay though, the thumb is short. The camo will make it a very interesting piece!

Thanks
