Syrian infantryman 1974

[Robert Jan de Wit]

Hello all,

I had lots of fun painting this 1:35 figure of an Syrian infantryman standing on guard on Mount Hermon in harsh weather during the war of attrition in the Bashan Salient.

The figure is an conversion of an CMK US soldier with an Verlinden head and sculpted hood.

The sculpted on M1 rifle was carved off and replaced with an 3D printed Dragunov rifle from our fellow member Venko.
The boots were replaced with modern ones from Firestorm models.

All is painted with acrylics

Thanks for watching.
regards,
Robert Jan

Yet another unusual model of yours. He does look miserable and cold. Great work.

There is still a lot of inspiration to find in those old Osprey books.
