In another of PiliPili's "Special Series" busts Le-Van Quang brings us a soldier for the Tirailleur Senegalais army of 1914. Next to his recent Mountain Man Trapper bust, one of my favorites.

Packaged in a sturdy cardboard box the 3 resin parts were sealed inside the box in a clear plastic zip-lock bag.

Above are several views of the well sculpted head. The attention to detail of the scars and the general attitude of his expression is excellent.

The first four photos show the torso of the bust and Quang's attention to detail of the uniform. The bottom two photographs show a closer look at the torso section.

The above photographs show the head dry-fitted into the neck cavity of the chest. Very little clean-up needed to either part and fitment was excellent.

Above is the tassel to the hat which attaches to the back of the hat.

Conclusion:
An excellent kit and one of my favorites of PiliPili's special series busts. Minimal clean-up needed and dry-fitting was excellent. Highly recommended.
