Hi Chaps. This is my entry into the Bend me - shape me campaign.
The base figure is from Dragonīs US tankers, kit # 6238.
His pose is changed slightly, as he is in mid-step OOB, but now he is standing and leaning a little more. I also changed his left arm from C3 to E3 and swaped his hand to a more suitable one from Tamiya.
He will be added to my recent water truck/base scene. The figure was one of the anniversary sets, so head was changed also. The torso was twisted a little to show resistance tothe old/heavy gate. Some details were scribed a little so painting will be easier to define.

Nice Frank,
Good to see that the entries so far are sticking to the 'NOT out of the box' part of the campaign!Good work so far mate.
PS: bought myself the 4-figure English Civil War set from Airfix, so my entry will come from there!

I finally got this fellow painted. Some final weathering will be added when he he is fixed to the base, so it all is consistent. Comments and/or critic are welcome!

Hi Frank,
That looks really excellent, the face is first class and the setting looks very natural.
Nice one.
Cheers
Al
