Parachute Regiment Falklands bust - Maurice Corry

[Grod]

Hello Folks
Sculpted for me by Moz, this is a 1/6th bust version of a british para during the Falklands war. He is armed with an SLR with optional ISW sight attachment. A bayonet is also supplied which can be attached or sheathed. He has a 66mm anti tank projectile on his back.
I am casting a few of these kits at the moment so if anyone would like one please contact me on [email protected].
A full version will also be available.
Price is £45 + postage for the bust.
Cheers
Gordon

I used to get the same dexterity from my Gumby figure when I was a kid........brings back such memories.

Having painted quite a few 1/6th scale busts by Naked Army, I have to say this bust looks rather basic. I won't buy it.

Thanks for the comments folks which good or bad are always appreciated.
For my part I like it and have made a start on painting the full figure version.
The market for these is as bronzes but I am making a few available as kits.
Cheers

Thanks for the pic Jimmy. It's difficult to make out the butt of the SLR of the para in the foreground but looks like it's got a dpm pattern?
These are pics of the figure so far.

Hi Gordon, great stuff, the only tiny, thing I could think of was the netting on the helmets was dark green, but still fantastic paint job
