I just couldn't resist adding this figure to the diorama.I especially like the relaxed pose that the artist Jim Maddox has given this figure.Although it is a Montgomery figure from WW2 I plan to use it as a mechanic or civilian.Other than removing a little flash from the casting, the figure can be used as is.I will change the military beret to something more like a 1920's cap.When this figure is finished I will have (so far) 14 figures waiting to be put in the diorama.

Beginning to under paint Monty.I used straight French blue out of the tube for the pants,then I added a little white gesso for the sweater.Their was a little more flash here than other L&L figures that I have worked with but still it was pretty clean and the detail is sharp.Any flash is easily removed by scrapping the edge a new #11 xacto blade across the flash.The only change to the body was to remove the bar on his chest.
The head will require some work on the hat area.
