Here are a few photos of a project I,m doing for a group build at Armourama. The figure is a 16th scale US Marine during the Spanish American war of 1898. He is involved in a battle for the US base at "Getmo" Cuba.

Cpt, I have looked at this guy a few times and I think he looks good. I dare say he is the best figure you have posted here yet.
I hope we will see him painted up!

Thanks Dan: Got the base ready and the sling for the rifle attached. Kind of cheated on them, the base will be a silver lid off one of my wife's makeup jars, I made the slind by stretching my sprue flat. I'll start a new job next monday with the TSA in Amarillo Tx, so I'm not sure when I'll get to paint this one.

... ;D I'm glad ... was capt partner, you've interested in these soldiers, this war, this time. Because I got interested and built a large collection of custom plastic soldiers and scale 1/30. They are 100 figures of Spanish soldiers in the Spanish-American war for independence in Cuba. And the host or weapon is: Mounted Marines, in uniform overseas. (Uniform ralladíllo)
I'll edit in another thread my collection. And now, I edited a cavalry charge of these Marines Spanish, 1898. In Cuba and the Philippines. ..:
