Looks nice and crisp...Good to see a vignette like this. I am, however, a lil curious why the sculptor chose to have the ankles and feet up on the heels. Maybe he wanted to show off the detail of the soles of the boots or his "dogs" were barking (feet hurt) but, a more relaxed and natural pose is with the feet down IMHO...

All the best

Thank you for question about feet angles. You are right, that relaxed soldier should have feet down. My intention was to show soldier turning to boy. I have tried to do it in this position and with load of equipment. Always my heels rest against the ground with feet raised.

... This is good, and an interesting subject ! I think the US 116 inf. soldier at Omaha beach and the British Para on their site are good too !!!

... 200mm ? Well, why not ! I might give them a try.
