"Going with a bang"

[Marijn Van Gils]

Hello guys,

this is my last finished project (about three weeks ago): a WW1 Turkish Ottoman soldier at Gallipoli, trying to shield himself in a reflex full of panic from the handgrenade that has fallen in front of him, obviously in vain...

The face is Hornet (with the eyes and eyebrows resculpted, and hair, moustache and headgear added), as are the hands (most fingers from the left had are redone though). The ammopouches are modified Verlinden items, and the rest is scratch. The handgrenade comes from Verlinden and the gun is a converted Tamiya item.

Any comments and/or criticisms are very welcome!

Best wishes,

Marijn

Beautiful work Marijn.

Marijn,

I have to agree this is really a nice figure. I am very glad to see and I bet others are as well, that you have jumped into the figures! I really enjoy your dioramas but I have to admit I like your figures better, they are like mini dio's themselves. thanks for sharing.

All the best,

Joe

I don't know how long you have benn at it, but your pieces easily equal the likes of Horan, Cohen, Blank, the Cannone Brother, etc.
