Ok folks, just gotta put on a flat coat and mount this guy to some terrain and I'm done.
The figure is 120MM (1/16th) and is by S&T Products. It's a USMC Bar Gunner at Chosin Resivoir in 1950.
I should have him done and mounted in a day or two. Will post finished photos in the Figure Forum.

Excellent paint job. He may even look better with a matte coating to remove the sheen. Hard to tell from a picture. Nice work !

Wow right back at you all.
Thanks for all the kind words, this figure has been finished as of about 15 min ago, I'll shoot final photos and post them sometime on Wednesday.
This really was an incredible kit and was a really fun build.

Kglack: Love the photoshop work man, I have never seen or heard of that book, BUT I have another S&T Chosin Marine to build so I may have to find it just for that guy.

Thanks all!!
