Recon Prod, new release! 1/9 USMC BAR-gunner, Chosin Reservoir, Nov-Dec 1950

[Recon]

​

​

I am proud to present the first release from Recon Productions;​

1/9 scale bust/half figure of a USMC BAR-gunner from the fierce battles near ​

Chosin Reservoir, Korea, Nov-Dec, 1950​

​

(Pictures of the raw sculpt and the story of the construction can be found here:​

http://www.planetfigure.com/threads/1-9-usmc-bar-gunner-chosin-reservoir-nov-des-1950.56422/ )​

​

The bust consists of 10 resin parts and a lenght of leadwire.​

Sculpting by Sverre Melleby​

Casting by YS Masterpieces​

Boxart by Sverre Melleby​

​

Official release will be right after Euro Militaire, but there will be 10 copies for sale at the YS Masterpieces stand at Euro Militaire. Each of those 10 will include a complementary brass plinth.​

​

In the regular releases to come, on average every fourth will include a brass plinth.​

Will you be one of the lucky ones?​

​

And finally some information for those of you who dont like the addition of a full BAR.​

The weapon comes it two pieces and can easily be adapted to fit the curve of the back, making it a regular cut weapon for that "true" bust look!​

​

Be on the lookout for a review from planetfigures own "Napoleonpeart" in the not so distant future!​

​

​

Information of where to buy Recon Production kits will be out soon, so watch this space!​

​

​

​

Regards,​

Sverre​

Very nice bust. Would make an excellent companion piece next to Young Miniature's Chosin bust.

One of the best painted faces I've seen on here in a long time. Captures the weary and shell-shocked look perfectly.

A great sculpt but personally I would have loved to have seen this as a full figure. But that's just me, I'm sure it will be a big hit and good luck with your new range.
