    Nice figure. The hand guards on the M16 need some work, they are a bit too skinny. Also note that the Vietnam era M16's had a rear sight adjustment that used the tip of a bullet to adjust, not the more modern hand adjustable knob. It also appears yours is missing the bayonet lug.

    That had me intrigued.
    Sure enough, here's the diagram from the manual:-

    That is bizarre, I was always told never to use a round as a tool and it's hardly convenient is it?

    The three busts are undoubtedly great!

    But what I find a pity as a customer and collector:

    Now we have the (agony of) choice to buy "Elias", "Barnes" and "Taylor" in 1: 8 at "Legion" or in 1: 9 at "Mitches Military Models".

    Why always these three?

    The movie still has so many other interesting protagonists to offer!

    For example, Francesco Qinn as "Rah" ...:

    ... or John McGinley as "Sgt. Red O'Neill" ...:

    ...or Keith David as "King" ...:

    Rivalry or not - all in the same scale matching to each other, THAT would be good news for us collectors!

    Sry, just my 2 Cents...

    Cheers

    Just not a original subject despite the sculpting being really good

    Thanks for sharing
