Original figure, in 1:35 scale.
Sculpted with MS and Duro. Head is from Hornet.
The FN Fal is from Bravo 6. The shield is an 3D printed item from Army49.
All painted with acrylics.

Thank you all for watching.

Another classic & distinctive figure Robert.
You’re really showing us all how different subjects can be without being same old, same old.
Especially liking hands & their positioning.
Well done!

Thank you very much Steve and Scotty!
Wicker riot shields are still in use by the Dutch police. It is pretty flexible and effective against rocks and stuff that is thrown during riots.

Looks amazing, Robert!

I like the natural colours of the wicker shield in particular.
