Another outstanding job Mark, that mannequin displays that tunic very well, looks like a perfect fit.

Thanks Jeremy,
Yours is finished, too

Incredible work Mark.
I'm looking forward to the day when I'll have the room to do fix up some mannequins to display complete uniforms. I'll just have to keep collecting and looking for a new home in the meantime.

Take care

Tony, Glenn and Jeremy, Thank You for the kind words - I think I'll go for the officer's m40 to finish the scenario off, though
CHEERS!

Being semi-new to the forum I JUST found this thread. WONDERFUL work you're doing. Another great way to enjoy this hobby without spending tens of thousands of dollars on the collectibles themselves.

Well done.

[NZMark]

Thanks for the kind words - very much appreciated.
With a bit of practice and effort I think anyone can get a result that will enhance the display of their collection.

Mark

A Fantastic tread !!!! Mark your realy an Artist your mannequin are fantastic !

I have a question , for a futur exibition in france I would do a Comanche Code Talker who land on Utah Beach .
But I found nothing like a Native Indian .
If you can help me

Some pictures of the real guys .

Hmmm,
Not too difficult as the real problem is the sculpting of the face structure, which just requires specific areas to be modified on a basic head as a starting point.
Getting the nose, eyes and cheek structure correct would be the main task. After that it's a matter of skin colour and toning.
Having reference to work from, as you do here, is half the battle!
