US Marine, 1st Mar Div, Kuwait, 1991

Hello all,

I managed to finish the new Young Miniatures bust over the holiday. A truly beautiful sculpt.

Painted almost entirely in Gen 3 acrylics, and a few Vallejo…

Just need to order a new base and mount him properly.

Thanks,

Rod

Really good!

I especially love the chocolate chip-pattern. He looks rather clean, though. Given his tired/worn look, might I suggest some grime and dust?

This is the first I’ve seen painted of this bust beside the box art and I must commend you for a great job. The face has wonderful skin tones with well picked out hair and eyes. The gear looks ace with the webbing gear in particular looking quite well used. The finish on the M16 is really well observed too.

He has very tired looking eyes with the circles around them and a bit of a ‘thousand yard stare’ too. Very well done!

Wow! It looks excellent Rod. From the camo patterns to the rifle and gear, you did an excellent job and the face is fantastic.
