Narrative Narrative

After watching 'Band of Brothers' I was inspired to produce a 101st Airborne tribute figure.

The basic Dan Summers figure was used and I added many loose items, mainly from Soldat 2, to kit him out. I changed the headsculpt as the original was too big for the helmet to sit comfortably and also found the trousers to be too baggy.

Although the figure was fun to assemble, it will probably be my first and only venture into World War II era figures.
