    Hello all

    I finished this figure today. A US marine during the battle of Guadalcanal 1942/1943.
    A small conversion of an the Bodi resin figure in scale 1:35.
    Painted with Humbrols.

    Thanks for watching.
    regards,
    Robert Jan

    Hi!
    Very nice work indeed.
    The groundwork helps a lot in giving a notion of the soldier's location.

    Just brilliant. That apparently simple uniform is anything but. Groundwork is exceptional, too.

    Everything Nap said. Looks a bit clean for Guadalcanal to me (maybe they had a good laundry:)) but beautifully painted and staged. Great how you've made such a potentially drab figure come alive.
