Dam Toys British Minimi Gunner, Afghanistan

I’m fairly new to 1/6th modelling and am enjoying learning on every new figure

This is my Dam Toys British Infantryman in Afghanistan

It was my first 1/6th figure and I was blown away by its detail

Ive added an Airborne badge to his stand and finished him off with pastel chalks for light weathering

Welcome aboard. He looks pretty good. I like the weathering details you added. Nice looking figure overall.

Very nice figure, and nice subtle touches. Thanks for sharing.

Always interesting to me, to see all the equipment. Very clear fine style of Photographie. Is it a figure of You, because the minime in the title ?

Thanks for the comments

The Minimi is the name given to the squad light machine gun he is carrying

By the way, though you can only post 3 images at a time thru servimg, you don’t have to make separate posts for those pictures if you don’t want. Check out post #2 in this thread for a thorough explanation:

Thank you Stryker, I was hoping there was a way to get multiple images posted in one go

Hello, and welcome! Your figure looks great! That stand works really well with him, simple yet elegant. : )

Thank you for the warm welcome

that's a lot of gear, man... well done, great figure!

Thank you Greg

Yes, welcome!

Effective touch ups, that reddish brown is quite aesthetic to have on one's boots.

As I don't use big machineguns in my daily life I have to ask: What's the purpose of that protective pouch covering the magazine? I guess it's not there to keep the bullets warm.

Thank you Ovy, Ammo comes in cardboard cartons so the canvas case is used to keep that secure
