We spent tremendous time in the detailing of the Kevlar helmet w/ cat eyes. The lacings are left over right. The boots are placed at 45 degree angles. The rife is a M16A4 with Picatinny rail for mounting optics and other ancillary devices. We used actual items in the molding process so that everything is life-size. A special bronze plaque can be affixed to the bronze base.
