hello gentlemen, i have not posted anything on this site for awhile but i am posting my latest figure. its a young miniature bust of a Marine in the pacific. i used all acrylics.i added some rips and cuts to the pack and made the chinstraps out of lead foil.also made the flag out of lead foild. i wanted to give him a combat wary look so i gave him grit and grime. i hope you guys like this bust. any comments are always welcome.im not sure how to get a photo to show i just used the url.
Rick.

I hope you don't mind but I fixed your pics:





Put an 'IMG' tag before the URL inside square brackets- [ ]. Then put the same tags at the end of the URL with a forward slash- / - inside the square brackets before the letters. If you are still stuck head over to the User Support forum.

As for the bust itself I like it- he has an excellent weary stare and looks suitably dirtied up. The leather straps and metal tags and spoon are also picked out very nicely.
