Figure / Painting Information
 
What is a number 2? A number 2 is the gpmg's assistant gunner - after various interactions with former Royal Marines who served during the conflict the ammunition was carried utilising a number of methods - to quote 'They were also up and over our heads, I suppose like Rambo'. The ammunition belts were worn with the tips of the rounds facing outwards. In addition to this additional rounds were sometimes also carried in smock / trouser pockets as the Mne's were told to carry as much ammunition as possible.  For those hand painting the bust every 5th round was a tracer round and therefore had a red tip. Service helmets were donned by the troops in combat as they were severely frowned upon and replaced with beret.

**It is no longer commercially viable to continue producing a large amount of figures in a wide number of scales and sizes. Models are therefore now available to order in resin kit form for a limited time only. After the expiry date the listing will be marked out of stock on the website and will be unavailable to order. Our most popular models will, however, be available to purchase in STL format from recommended resellers at a later date.
