Done bits and pieces modifying figs and adding stowage etc to vehicles but never a proper fig. I used an elhiem doll for the pose, the boots, anklets, trousers, tunic, italian parka, head and hat is my sculpting. Suffered a bit of scale creep with the boots and the head is a bit small but overall im happy with how it came out. Will do a set of 5 next time with the same theme.

Very cool! Is this a Twilight 2000 type guy?

No lol… late war SS, italian parkas were popular acquisitions and all types of hats were custom made.

That looks great. Scale creap can happen, but to be honest, I did not notice the boots at first until you mentioned it. The head looks fine to me. The paint jobe is fantastic. And all in 20mm. Nice. Matthew

Great looking figure, but the gun looks a tad large to me. Wonderful paintwork.

Impressive, yeah, head maybe 10% to small, but you get away with it, I think maybe a little longer neck would be better, not much, maybe 1/2mm to 1mm, but that's being very pedantic,he's quite good as is, love the parka.
