I’m not a figure painter, but I’m going to give this a go.

It needs some filling and sanding before I can start painting.

A nice looking figure Ian - who is the manufacturer? Will enjoy watching this come together.

Thanks For the interest Peter, I’m not sure who the manufacturer is. I got it off EBay. But if you look for 1/16 120mm ww2 WWII British soldier/infantry with enfiled. You may know or find out who it was.

Hi Ian

the sculpter looks to have given up when he got to the arms - the few creases that are there are not very convincing

will you be doing some rectification?

Looks like he will need some work before the paint flies - mould line down his face, no thumb, pin holes, rifle muzzle

Good luck with it

Your wright Simon. Plenty of work to do, and I’ll try my best.

Filled some bubble holes and started making the left arm look better.

That's a shame as starting to look good with some paint on Ian.

It will get finished John.

Just a quickie mate; the straps on the anklets were leather, not webbing, and more often than not were black boot polished rather than Blanco'd. Will give you a little more visual interest with the brass buckles becoming more prominent!
