The tank commander is in position, hands on the handle, thumbs on the trigger, very complicated to do. It needed a lot of adjustments because the position has a lot of 3 dimensional elements to integrate. The height of the figure, torso to the back, arms, hands, fingers, thumbs, the M2 itself, and the platform or seat under his feet. This took all my modelling skills and a lot of patience to get it right. I think i got it right... He is wearing the Takom helmet, upgraded a bit.

He has raised his position for better observation using flare boxes.

Not a happy camper.
Those shields gave me some problems. Somehow, there is nothing to keep them strait. I figure it was like this in reality and left it go sideways a bit.

The Jason Studio commander was modified earlier to be a M60 rear gunner. While installing it, i was not happy yet with the position of the right arm so i decided to do more surgery. I managed to make his right forearm hold on to the M60, and then adjust to the elbow.
