 Brian Stewart 
              brings some visual interest to a static figure of an officer yapping 
              on the handie-talkie (as it was called back in the daythe 
              walkie-talkie was the large strap-on-the-back SCR300). Portrayed 
              on the box as a captain, this officer is a trifle unkempt, with 
              the hem of his winter combat jacket riding up the binoculars case 
              hanging from his web belt. He has a canvas bag strapped over his 
              right shoulder. However, the strap emerges from under his jacket, 
              runs down his chest to the bag, where it rises up his back and disappears 
              under the back his collar. This gives the suggestions of a slit 
              through which this strap passes through below the collar to the 
              other side. This can be corrected with some judicious carving to 
              suggest the strap going up over the top corner of the jacket and 
              then under the front corner of the collar. (The torso, by the way, 
              is the same as that in "American Tanker Officer #35361 only 
              with the addition of the jacket.) Otherwise, this 
              is a typical offering from Warriors: nicely sculpted and cast, with 
              little clean up required. Use this simple figure in a variety of 
              settings. -tss
