WIP Japanese Sniper - Phillipines - 1941 / 42

[smudger1960]

For this latest project ive decided to move on 126 years from the age of napoleon to the pacific war,ive always had a slight interest in the pacific war and have done the odd pieces in the past,but this Japanease sniper bust I fell in love with at euro a couple of years ago.
I just loved the bust plus the standard of sculpting and casting,it just sold on me.
The bust is produced by Tiny Leads,its all resin and is about 1/9th scale approx.
I have blue tacked a few pieces together for the purpose of these pictures,gaps and some sanding and filling will be needed before priming.
I am also working on a small back drop jungle theme for this as well to show it off in a more appropriate setting.
Updates will be following over the next few days with my progress.
