    Hello ,
    This is still in the early stages of development ,that being a US Marine Stretcher team in the Pacific WW2.
    The figures are still in basic stages as the hands need to fit to the stretcher(Improvised banyan tree or something).The process has improved in that casting pieces like heads,hands ,boots etc help move the process along.The hands you see in these images will be altered when the time comes.
    Comments welcome.

    Andy: Your artistic talent continues to amaze me. I marvel
    at your ability to get the poses of each soldier so natural;
    as I think back to so many of your wonderful pieces that I
    have seen here on PlanetFigure. I sincerely hope that the talent
    and artistry that you possess is a source of joy and contentment
    for you, lad. Congrats on a great start. Will follow with much
    interest and appreciation. The Miami Jayhawk

    Hi Andy,
    I really like what you are doing here with a very complex piece. I know that it will be a winner but I wish you luck with it just the same.
    Watching with baited breath.
    All the very best,
    Keith

    Hello,
    A change to the whole scene making it less robotic ,is a Marine Corpsman handing a ciggy over to the casualty.
    The trousers have been added to the team.
    Next is to work on the interaction between the Corpsman and casualty.
    Comments welcome.

    Matt and Mirof,
    Thanks for the comments.I was thinking maybe the sleeves ripped off the left rear carrier as seen in Pacific BOB.Will see as my reseacrh so far hasnt yet confirmed this.

    stunning even at such an early stage, may I ask where heads and hands came from, are they original or stock items. I am looking for 75mm heads and hands without any luck, was trying to pick up the 1/25 adam sets by Priser but they are just impossible to pick up, any suggestions would be great.
