Review - Dogs of War #3 miniature figure from Rogue Miniatures

The Dogs of War #3 miniature looks fit for John Matrix from Commando movie or Alan "Dutch" Schaefer from Predator movie, based on Arnold Schwarzenegger's likeness. Using it as a T-800 Model 101 for the Terminator universe is also a possibility.

The model seems like it would be a good fit for most wargaming ranges that use 1:56-1:64 scale (28-35mm).
