Completed MMM Sgt. Ewart 1/9th scale bust

[Theodoros]

Great job indeed, Gells !
I'm working on this bust, but I' m afraid his left palm -eventhough reinforce it by metal rod- could not support/balance the weight of the resin flag...
What would you suggest me to overcome this problem?

Hi Theodoros, thank you.

I put a fairly thick brass rod through the wrist and into his forearm to support the flag.

Hi Bob,

The front plate is dark star but I cant remember the colour. Then washed with tamiya smoke for the gloss.
