Has anyone else received this 'Bust', yet ? ..and if so, could you shed some light on the purpose of the supplied 'Copper wire'? ... I have gone brain-dead, trying to figure out it's use! ..

Okay I could not resist giving this answer.

I just got mine in the mail today and will open it up and see as well.

Always good to laugh !!!! Especially when you are painting red and you slip and run the brush over the perfectly painted white shirt by accident. Been there, done that!!!!

Ring for the grenade is my guess.

Surely it's to tie the field dressing onto his hat with

As for the copper wire , I too wondered but agree it must be the grenade ring ...just an awful lot of it in box !!!

sometimes a strap was fastened to the cricket he is holding in his left hand. Maybe another option to use the wire.

I just got mine today I think it is likely for making the the clips for the pistol holster and canteen to attach to the belt cos as you can seen below they were attached via these small metal wires. The other options suggested I would have thought would of been sculpted and in his left hand is a rifle clip not a cricket.
I have dropped nuts planet a line via email to fully clarify but that's what I think.

I was thinking that its for the sling swivels on the M1, or the leather thong on the holster.

The leather thong on the holster is cast as are the swivels on the M1 Sling

Hello Simon,
First of all, I thank you for your warm comments for our product.
Actually, the copper wire is for making detail for hooks of accessaries to the belt.
Many thanks and hope you to enjoy painting.
Best regards,
Benny
