    Very nice. The only thing I would change is the way the machine guns sits on the shoulder. As is its resting on the rear sight assembly/carrying handle and would be very wobbly, especially with a belt of ammo hanging off one side. Since he's not grasping the barrel it has to be balanced, which would be difficult as is. Probably wouldn't be real comfortable either. Flipped over it would be sitting on the flat bottom of the forward hand grip, which is how is often seen being carried.

    Cheers

    Thanks friends! I am glad that you liked a figure!
    JasonB: machine gun position, I took from the photo. After the figure will be copied, on it there will be machine-gun tapes. And also I didn't glue on the machine gun one more detail, as this machine gun temporary.

    The face is a very good likeness of Adam Balwin; the actor who played Animal Mother in FMJ.

    Cool! I'm glad to see more Vietnam subjects from Evolution, but I'm even more excited to hear you are working on new Deltas from Somalia and modern figures from Iraq/Afghanistan... Exciting news!

    Can't wait to see more. Great work my friend!

    My only problem with the figure is the weight of the M-60 Machine Gan, the gun is very heavy and the weight of the gun should be depicted and his right shoulder should be slumped somewhat.
    Other than that, nice work on Animal Mutha.

    All many thanks!
    Chris: Thanks! The machine gun is established temporarily. But when the figure will be drawn will be normal. Will be as on a photo which I have presented on 1 page.
