Hello all you figure experts,
my name is Paul Badman and I´m doing a build on the "Modelling a photo 2" campaign and I have run into a problem. I desperatly to get a figure that is bending over forwards. I´ve checked out all the plastic figure makers and these in resin:
VP,Nemrod,Warriors,Tank,Plus Model,Adalbertus,Alpine Miniatures,Hobby fan,Nimix, and some more but this would
take up too much room and time,all this up to now without success.
Can anyone tell me where I can find a figure that does this:
Or can anyone loan me a figure on a long term basis?
Thanks,
Paul

I would recommend that you use the lower half of a seated figure(perhaps DML's artillery riders) and the upper of a tank commander or officer.

The Tamiya field maintenance set has a figure in that pose.

There is a Master Box set with German Tank Hunters that has that pose.

If you can't find a figure that fits the exact pose, but close enough to work with, you can always cut and putty to fit the exact pose. Here's an example of where I had to do this on one of my builds and the end result.....as I always say, if I can do it anyone can!

Thanks to everyone who answered, I shall try some heavy surgery and if that don´t work then it looks like MB or Tamiya shall come to the rescue.
Happy modelling all
