I was thinking the same thing. Just swap out the head and you're good to go. [/quote] And you can use the head if you are thinking of making a 1960's Bond villian....

I like it,it's definitely taken from actor Terry Thomas with his British eccentricity

I'm going to go with the caricature comment; he looks silly. I'd lop off the head and replace it with something that doesn't look like a joke. Sorry, it's true.

Terry Thomas's international career was only made possible by his fitting the caricature of a Brit he embodied; it was ok then I guess. But in 2020 why should Brit/Anzac troops too often look like caricatures from the past really beats me. See: LINK LINK

You've all obviously never seen Jon's Two Types, a regular strip in an army newspaper, lampooning the dress sense of officers who'd been "up the Blue" for too long. https://www.bing.com/images/search?q=jon%27s+two+types&form=QBIR&first=1&scenario=ImageBasicHover

[quote]You've all obviously never seen Jon's Two Types, a regular strip in an army newspaper, lampooning the dress sense of officers who'd been "up the Blue" for too long.--- Great stuff, really interesting, I had never seen that! My only question was simply: why would a company, in 2020, use cliché codes of almost a century ago to sculpt their Brit figures? It's not at all about judging representations of the past!!! But if being realistic is what we're aiming at, why would anyone today produce figures that are "cartoonesque" if u wish... Especially when their German soldiers never look that way

simple modelling rules: Brits always have a mustache and drink tea, Chinese soldiers are always on parade, French soldiers always surrender and a german soldier will always point

More time needed it seems. Cheers, P

You forgot to mention that the German officer ALWAYS is holding a pair of fine Zeiss binoculars while pointing at something in the distance that no one else without binoculars could otherwise see!
