GI in Overcoat #2
Modeling the U.S. Army in WWII


MK35
F016


This GI stands with his right hand on his hip, and his left arm raised to his head, his hand lifting his helmet. The expression and overall demeanor is one of confusion or surprise.
He wears the long wool melton overcoat and canvas leggings, but no belt or web gear. He is suitable for a winter setting, perhaps trying to figure out how to get his vehicle out of a snow bank. With some work, he could also be a captive during the Battle of the Bulge.
The sculpting is adequate; there is little definition to the prominent brass buttons, and the back waistband is missing. There are no seams or flash to clean up. The face is nicely done, however, and there are some good undercuts to the jacket collar pulled up around his neck. The figure scales out less than 6’and comes in only three pieces: body, left arm and head.This is an interesting pose one doesn't see very often in dioramas.
