    Hi folks,

    Just finished this after a long time being half-done. Original sculpt by me, 1/9 scale in Milliput, with Duro details. Sword scratchbuilt from plastic strip and tube, bindings from masking tape. National marking decal on helmet came from a Rubicon tank kit. All painted in Vallejo acrylics.

    Thanks for looking,

    Steve(y)

    Hi Steve

    Great to see this completed and a nice result , like the uniform colour and the flesh tones , the webbing is interesting ...was this locally made ?

    Good choice on the helmet decal as well

    Thanks for sharing

    Happy benchtime

    Stay safe

    cheers Kev - according to sources, almost everything was locally manufactured, apart from imported supplies. There was some attempt to standardise, but as China is such a huge place, variation was inevitable.(y)
