Back to resin, and I've just taken delivery of a couple of kits from Historex. The first up is this 120mm Verlinden offering depicting a USAAF crewman. He's presented in full leather flying gear, wearing his parachute harness, and carrying his parachute. The quality of the sculpt and moulding is excellent:

Some of the webbing, the oxygen line, and the communications wires have to be added. Verlinden have provided an instruction sheet for this, but the actual materials are different:

The webbing consists of a ribbed vinyl sheet and there is no tubing, though that can easily be made from cable insulation. The Memphis Belle sticker is a nice touch.
I have lots of lovely reference in a book given to me by Pete Low (which has been very useful over the years):

I haven't done a resin figure in this scale for some time, so it should be fun (should be!).
