I've decided to turn to a larger scale figure for my next build. This is a new Maurice Corry sculpt for Mitches depicting a LRDG/SAS trooper in 120mm, based on the figure on the right in the illustration:

There are 11 parts and a base:

First impressions were of a nicely sculpted figure and a good casting. The square objects are for the Benghazi tea-brewing set up, commonly used in the desert.
I've now put it together, ready for painting:

As usual with Moz Corry, we get a long and lean figure. The webbing and clothing are very realistically done and crisply rendered. I'm not so keen on the face, but it should be OK. There was a lot of clean-up required and some parts needed quite a bit of work, particularly the gun, which I presume is meant to be a Lee Enfield. That was in quite a mess, so I've replaced a lot of the damaged detail. I'm not sure about the breech/magazine part, so I may cover that in some cloth wrapping or a breech cover:
