Thank you Francisco - on checking some of the details in the Osprey Special Naval Landing Force book, there are a couple of anomalies on the illustration, so I have taken details from that book, being specific to the SNLF...

Hi Steve

You've nailed this sculpt and it's not fully finished

Always interesting to see a sculpt develop from you ...hope we see more

Happy sculpting

That's a cracker, Steve - reminds me of the old Almark 1/32 Japanese Infantry figure sets from the 1970s, but with MUCH more detail!
Seriously though, great figure & very commercial because there aren't that many WW2 Japanese figures around - ever thought of doing a Japanese para?

Thanks Chris - not sure about a Japanese para....but never say never!!

KOKO!

Hi Steve!

Fantastic work until now, one of my favourite subjects and scale because there aren't in the market many figures about this army and period of the history.
Will be for commercial purpose? I hope so.

Cheers

It's interesting that WW2 Japanese are rarely modelled, possibly due to their reputation for barbarity, but no such constraints apply to modelling the SS.

I just recieved my copy this morning and I must say it far exceeds my expectations!!! This is a well cast and sculpted figure, I would highly recommend

Ive ordered a figure as well, looking forward to getting it to hand.. An Aussie mate of mine loves Japanese figures and Ive painted up a couple for him, so he will be eager for me to have a go at this one..
