WW1 Sniper 1/32

Recommended Posts

I've been wanting to make a figure of the Anishinaabe sniper Francis Pegahmagabow for a while, I bought the little Ross rifles for this project about 15 years ago. He was the most successful sniper from any nation during the war and is also credited with capturing 300 prisoners.

 

I'm speculating with the equipment and uniform for the figure, probably give him a toque and leave off the backpack. The ICM figure is 1/35 but the rifle is 1/32, and I'll use a hornet head that looks a bit more like the man.

I love the idea.  As long as our troops had decent ammo, those Ross rifles were super accurate and reliable, and our snipers were among the best in the world.  I look forward to seeing your finished model!
