The SLR looks a wee bit under sized.

The flash suppressor was cut off by the SAS to give that shock factor in close jungle.

 

[Edorta]

Looks very good, It seems that the sculpture is made in a highgest level than the painting work, in my opinion. A bit rough.
Thanks for sharing Jinmmy S Electric Warrior.

I assume its the Australian SAS if he is using the cut down SLR.
Nice looking bust but Naked Army do some cracking figures.

Having seen this bust, as well as the Australian WW1 Lewis Gunner and sniper, "in the flesh", so to speak, I can assure you that they are of the highest quality. Having also recently painted a converted Naked Army figure I am hooked on this larger scale and will be getting all of these new busts. It also doesn't hurt that the price is so good for something this size. Cheers,

Having painted this figure before, I can't wait to do the bust. (Thanks Roger)
It's staggering the amount of detail in these large scale figures. Anyone tempted to purchase one wont be disappointed. Take the time to look at the work of Alan Mackie (alamac) here on pF to see what can be done in 1/6th scale, with a lot of patience, paint and talent.

Australian SAS cut the flash suppressor off the barrels of the SLR to increase muzzle flash and make the weapon sound like a larger calibre weapon (.50 cal) when fired, in order to create the impression they were more numerous and heavily armed than they were. Their tactic was to ambush the enemy with a withering burst of firepower and then quickly slip back into the jungle while the enemy was confused and disoriented. They were the undisputed masters of covert jungle warfare in Vietnam, having honed their jungle fighting skills in Borneo and Malaya in the years before.

I've just ordered the SAS bust and the US Navy Pilot busts online.

Gells, they are a steal mate, worth way more than they retail for.

Really looking forward to seeing some of these painted up here.

Yes they are big effectively 300mm figures.

Stay safe,

Awesome in deed Jimmy.
Looking forward to giving some of these a crack myself mate.

Stay safe mate,

Mike, I can assure you that they are all well worth it. The Richtofen project is finished. Al has done a great job on the conversion. If I can find someone with the computer smarts I will post a couple of photos for you. Cheers,

Still deparately keen to do a NZ Rifle Brigade version of Lewis Gunner.

Stay safe,

Really great and a nice adaption of the complete Figure. The completed Figure by Tony Dawe was awsome painted. I think we will see this bust by him painted too ;-). Have not seen any Information of shipping to Europe anywere?! I would love to see this Figure complete in 1:35 scale.

Great Bust
