US Marine Machine Gunner, Vietnam

I’ve posted pics of my Damtoys Marine before but have been practicing with my new camera

The Marine was my second Damtoys figure and was built straight from the box apart from new combat trousers swapped out for the tucked in design of the originals

He is a big guy with heavily muscled arms which seem a bit over the top but the figure is based on the “Animal Mother” character in Full Metal Jacket and the headsculpt does look very much like Adam Baldwin

The set is to Damtoys usual high quality and you get a lot of kit and equipment to load him down with

Nicely done!

Thank you

He looks great. Love all the little details.

Very nice, I like the light weathering, just the first day in Vietnam.

Looks good. I like the muscle body you’ve chosen, makes him look badass.

That 'burnt Sienna' color you use for weathering looks great again.

I think the muscle body works very well too, I mean it's "Vietnam, the movie!" After all.

Thank you for comments
The pastel powder used always reminds me of the reddish brown dust seen in Vietnam pics

splendid! I like the trousers untucked, well done.

I think I commented on the other site, but it warrants another reply -- great figure with attention to detail. You were concerned about the seamless arms on this one, but I really like how they look on him, completes the overall 'vibe'. Another excellent job.

Thank you very much for comments
