Hi all,

Been a while, but here's one I just finished - a soldier of the Highland Light Infantry of Canada near Caen in July of 1944, based on a Ron Volstad plate in an Osprey Men at Arms title. The base figure is Hornet's 1/35th Commonwealth Infantryman, but I modified it slightly by replacing the head with one from Alpine, adding a Mk III helmet from Ultracast with netting from tulle fabric and hessian strips from Apoxie Sculpt. More Apoxie Sculpt was used to make the shoulder flashes and 3rd Cdn Div. formation patches and the gaiters were carved away and the boots resculpted to depict the buckle-flap style boots worn by the 3rd Cdn. Div. in the Normandy campaign. It's painted up in oils over acrylic base coats:





As always, comments, critiques and advice much appreciated.

Cheers,

Brian

Thanks Carl - much obliged!

Nice job in this Brian. He looks the part. I saw a photo of this at Ajax on the PSM Facebook site and wondered if it was yours. Sorry to miss out on the show...Next time.

Thanks all for the kind comments - much appreciated!

Brian

Nice vignette! Congrats!

Thanks Taesung - I think the Alpine head with its slightly sardonic expression catches the attitude I wanted to convey really well - thanks for such a great sculpt!

Cheers,
Brian

Glad to see you back and posting your wonderful figures, Brian. This ones a beauty.
Cheers

Thanks Nick!
