I am unfamiliar with the Kroenen figures, but they certainly are frightful looking. The Brad Pitt figure is popular, and I find it to represent the actor well, insofar as the characters he plays seem incapable of humility. 8O :haha:

Kroenen is one of the villians in the 2004 Movie of "Hellboy". its sci fi/comic book genre. Great if you like that kind of thing!
His character is a bit grusome.

Yes the Brad figure has been around for a few years now, I was struck by the likeness in the sculpt. which I'm hoping won't be lost when I paint him! the M4 they used for the film The Fury, is not far from me at the Bovington tank museum, its pretty impressive in the flesh.

That's really impressive S.O.G. The cigarette is a nice touch, I'm guessing he uses a ronson to light that ;)

I must get round to Painting mine!

Sorry, not my work. I stole copies for an anatomy comparison because it didn't look quite right.

Yeah, you are correct, he would strike his matches against his Sherman....

Oh, that's the PItts. @) Model Builder 4, of course, you have painted the figure superbly. Then, too, in the 2018 post you commented that the quality of the sculpting is important. True! True! True! It's a well-sculpted figure in the first place. (I do think the head appears just a bit long. Do you agree?)

Hello professor,

The sculpt is very good and you could instantly recognize who it is but when it is placed next to the actual film portrait you can see that the real life Brad's cheeks are a little more chubby ( perhaps he was having more rations than the others :haha: ) I have painted a couple of real life characters including oddball viewtopic.php?t=30406 I think these pair may be some of the most iconic and recognizable fictional characters to none tankers :thumbup:

Cheers,Lee.
