Hi there
This is a figure that I hope to make use of on my muddy base of which I have shown the beginning of construction of in the diorama section.
He is a tanker but I made him a little different to the norm seen, as have him in a M41 'Parsons' jacket as opposed to the usual winter combat jacket. He will have on winter coveralls (bib and brace type) and I have yet to decide on the footwear. He would work just as well as an armored dough I guess, but has no web belt or equipment. I have fitted this head for dimensional use only, and he will most likely end up with the winter combat helmet (the wool lined ear flap style one) maybe under a M1 pot. The black dots are merely the button locations for drilling later. The jacket flap will probably be open down to the top or second button.
Since these pics, I have sculpted the right arm. It is draped by his side and his hand will be holding a cigarette. I am going for a bit of a ragged look with him, to portray the tiresome haul through Alsace as part of Patton's 3rd Army and may do my Sherman up as a 4th Armored number around Arracourt.
