[valiant]

Hi folks,

WIP on this 120mm commission of a Japanese medical orderly, Russo - Japanese War, 1905. Still work to be done on the cap and the head, this figure will be available commercially later this year. Parts tacked in place for the photos. Milliput and Duro over copper wire armature.

Thanks for looking,

Steve

Looks like another winner to me Steve - you've certainly got a knack for picking unusual subjects from history!

Hi Steve!

Interesting project and subject. I have in mind some conversions of figures based in this period.
Impatient to see it finished and for ordering it.
Who will the brand that commercialize it? Can you say it?

Cheers,

Francisco

Nice to see some more WW2 Japanese appearing mate.

Cheers Steve - a little earlier than WW2, but maybe conversion fodder...?!

Excellent!!! , I know that company from my friend Jose Rodriguez

Thanks Steve

Nice work, only critisism I can offer is that the face does not look very oriental to me (lacking the high cheekbones and amandel shaped eyes typical of Japanes and Chinese people). For me that would detract significantly from the overall look of the figure.

Thanks for the comment - however, the features are just roughed out, as it is a WIP at the moment. If you look closely, he has no eyes or ears yet......

I should have read the title properly

A really promising figure of a really obscure subject. That conflict is a great source for modellers.

Hi Folks,

Facial features added to the Japanese medic. Some tidying and fine tuning once cured...
