New bust on my workbench... removed bottle from helmet and replace it with pack of smokes.... so far that is that. To be continued....

Great start look forward to seeing the bust finished...

Just finished mine a very enjoyable paint that helmet cover is looking great.

Beautiful work on that camo cover, and for some reason I want a Camel cigarette now. That pack of smokes looks real.

Agreed. Looking good so far.

Having been A radio operator in the Marines just after Vietnam I can say you really nailed the Radio. It's more than likely a AN-PRC125 or as we called them " a Prick125" The beast put an additional 30lbs on your back.

The radio is a little kit in itself with some nice detail. Here is my version with decals from Arms Corps models which really enhanced the set.

Thanks everybody for comments !
Is there any possibility to get those decals anywhere in Europe ?

cheers

No sorry, not anymore.

Bummer....

Yap, guess I will have to try to cook something in my kitchen .....

Robert, check your messages mate.

Started with face , and added mustaches , and just to see how it looks I've added "educational magazine" under flack vest... still not sure to leave it or not..
I'm playing a bit with that nice bust... and enjoy it..
Thanks for watching and commenting this project !

cheers
Robert

progress on face ... sugestions ?

Few corrections to be made around eyes and mustaches, still to attach m18 ,antena and on prc and handset.... and I think this one will be done.
Suggestions, critics ? Anyone ?

cheers
Robert

Almost done.... (and big thanks is going to mr. Jason Miller who kindly sent me his decals for M18; thanks again)
