Lovely figure and an original subject. A pity that your releases are only once per year.

Very nice piece. I don't know this period at all, could you tell me why the character is holding a pickaxe in his hand?

I believe he's an engineer, if the word sapper is the same as the English one, so he would be used to build roads, trenches etc. So a pickaxe would be a tool of his trade.

Thank you for your reply.
