Fantastic accurate detail of the M-1 rifle and related cartridge belt. I carried an M-1 on and off for almost 3 years, and your model looks like the real thing. The water cooled 30 caliber machine gun was before my time, so I cannot comment. We used an air cooled 30 cal machine gun.

Great work!

Awesome work Frans! :banana: I thought I'd already commented on this, must've been on Facebook, lol!

It's great to see your skills improving with all theses figures, I think this and the navy diver are my favourites so far.

But I am looking forward to your return to some armour soon, lol! :th: :th: :th:
