120mm figure from Mitches Military Models of Sgt J G Mather MM G Squadron SAS (Royal Signals) during the Falklands War of 1982.

Based on a painting by Peter Archer.

Painted with a mixture of MIG, Vallejo & Tamiya acrylics. Replaced the resin base as it didn't "feel right".

(Constructive) Comments welcome.

Great work on the DPM.
I agree about the original base but it works a treat with the Scots Guard on Tumbledown

Well that scene certainly evokes a lot of memories. You really have captured a moment in time really well. One to be proud of

Thanks guys. The DPM was the one thing I was reasonably confident of as I wore it for a while at the time. Had to replace the barrel on the rifle with brass tubing as the resin had broken off.
