    With US troops deployed to the boarder with Mexico, I thought I'd post this work I started in 2016, to show how little History changes. The figure represents A US soldier (National Guardsman) on duty on the US/Mexico boarder. This 1/24th scale figure is of a US Inf. soldier just prior to the US intervention into Mexico. The figure is made from sprue and this coat of paint is used to detect flaws in the figure. A little more sanding/filling and it should be ready to paint. Any advice or thoughts would be welcomed.
  3. Thanks for the kind words
  4. These are a few update pictures of a Cont. Marine firring from the fighting top. This coat of paint is used to find flaws in the sculpting and is not ment tobe a primer coat.
  5. That is some real great paint work...really creepy...love it!
  6. Thanks Gil: yes sir both figures are made from sprue. The basics are: take a small portion of sprue on the end of a wood burner and build up the plastic. For repetitive piece guns, canteen, ect, I'll make a master out of sprue, then make silicone mold and heat plastic with a toaster oven,then push the soften plastic to fill the mold, (Kind of a poor man's injection molding). The WW2 figure was added to show they do look better.
  7. Here are a few WIP of a Marine I'm working on. The figure is 1/16th and made entirely out of sprue. I wish my photography skills where better. They look better finished
