Japanes soldier mannequin

[TONY GANZ]

Posting a mannequin I have been working on. I really dislike the faces of the commercial mannequins available on the market so Iopted for a torso only. Hope you like it. Uniformed in the 1930's China uniform.

That's a great Looking display. I agree with you, most mannequins don't do it for me. They are either too fake/cheesy looking, or just creepy. That looks classy!

Great looking display.

I think the mag pouches need to be closer together and they didn't cross the strap on the puttees at that time

[TONY GANZ]

That's great to know, makes it easier.

Nice setup, it seems like a mix of original and reproduction equipment?

I too don't like mannequins with heads.... and my wife really doesn't like mannequins with heads.

Would like to see your Japanese awards and medal display also?

Again, great stuff.

[TONY GANZ]

The only repro items are the straps for the pack. All other items are original. Almost impossible to find the original straps. Thx for the comments.

Great set up. I also hate mannequin heads, just detracts from the display. J

[Tony Peeters]

Japanese mannequins with heads can really be a surplus !

Please have a look at Bruno Franck's earlier posts of his (partly use to be) Japanese collection !
His wonderful looking Japanese mannequins (with those realistic heads) are without any doubt an example of how mannequins (even with a head) could (should) look like !
Credit where credit's due !
Topnotch Japanese collection !

Thx to all who commented on my mannequin. I strive to get it right, but sometimes miss the mark. I have posted additional photos of the rear of the mannequin.

Nice display.

A question: is the collar branch insignia black or dark green?
And are you up for some constructive criticism on making your great display more accurate?

Cheers.
Matt.

I thought a nice accompaniment to my M1932 uniform would be a M1938. I haven't seen a lot of officers uniforms with the double sleeve stripes of the 1943 regs. Here is a scarce 1943 reg officers uniform. I hope you enjoy. Thanks Tony
