Thought I would give this a go. I was trying to capture a late war tanker with the crushed hat and youthful appearance. I still have to add the insignia.

Jerry,
I take it that's an original sculpt? If so, OUTSTANDING!
I'll be looking forward to seeing it completed.
Happy modeling!

Thanks for the kind words buddy. This guy is going to be in the process of checking his tanks' track pins with the trusty hammer. If I stay ambitious there will be more guys to follow in various rumpled late war uniforms. All in the royal scale of 1/16.

That is some head sculpt Jerry, I think you've captured a youthful look very well- the pose you have in mind also sounds quite interesting. Good luck with it mate!

Small update. Got the insignia on the hat and started to flesh out the clothing.
