    This is a start on a 1/16 Bren Gunner in the Far East during WW2.The weapon is made from turned brass,Aluminium,plastic card and magicsculp.The pose is relaxed as our man gets the last puff from his ciggy before carrying on. The right forearm will be resting on the Brens sling.comments welcome.

    Gidday,
    A machete and water bottle have been added to the side of the figure which creates some angle when viewed from the front.You will find that quite complex angles and compostion form as your sculpting progesses that all add to the final sculpt.comments welcome.
