WWI NumberBolt
Capturing a soldier of World War I

Inspired by the gas mask, which became essential equipment for soldiers
during World War I, when chemical weapons were first used on a large scale around the world

M&Ms Sculpture.
Detailing crafted down to the finest point

The tightly sealed mask has heavy, high-visibility lenses, with a filter fitted to the intake.
The exhaust duct hose, with realism in every ridge, is positioned where it would connect to a tank on the back.
The "belt fastening," with a cheap feel true to the period, adds even more to the overall atmosphere

Real painting.
Bold shading brings out the antique feel

Each piece is carefully hand-painted, making it one of a kind, with a realistic texture mass production could never achieve.
Rust, grime, sand and dust evoking fierce battle are all rendered in paint.
The resin lenses are also thoroughly aged

Gimmick.
Bolt embedded to make a license plate bolt

An M6 bolt is embedded in a Making&Monsters original sculpture to make a license plate bolt.
A large washer is included to help prevent the license plate from cracking.

Chemical Weapon after WWI.
About international treaties restricting chemical weapons

World War I saw the first large-scale use of chemical weapons, causing over 1.3 million casualties, including some 100,000 deaths.
At the same time, the horror of biological and chemical weapons was strongly recognized by the international community, and in 1925 the first international treaty restricting biological and chemical weapons was established

[Please be sure to read]

All M&Ms sculptures are made entirely by hand, so please understand the following before purchasing

[About the warranty]

M&Ms products come with a 1-month product warranty.
If the sculpture breaks or comes off, please contact us.
*The product warranty does not cover natural aging or deterioration

[About aging and deterioration]

M&Ms license plate bolts and valve caps are finished with paint.
When mounted on a vehicle, some discoloration, fading, loss of gloss and coating deterioration will occur over time; please understand this before purchasing.
*Please understand in advance that flying stones, sand, rain, etc. may also speed up deterioration.

[About early deterioration]

M&Ms license plate bolts and valve caps undergo durability testing and aging/deterioration checks assuming "mounted on a bike" and "stored in an indoor garage."

The following conditions will speed up deterioration of the paint and coating.
Please avoid use in these conditions, or enjoy the product with aging and deterioration in mind.
*Please understand in advance that we do not offer a warranty for early deterioration under these conditions.

• Outdoor storage (storage exposed to rain and sunlight leads to early deterioration)
• Installation/use on cars or front license plates that are easily affected by rain, sand and flying stones
• Long rides in strong summer sun or facing the afternoon sun

[About the durability of the paint and body]

• Due to the nature of resin, the surface coating may lift slightly in places
• Paint is mixed each time, so colors may differ slightly from the product images

[Neon colors]

For their vivid colors, M&Ms neon colors use a special American paint.
It produces pop colors Japanese paints can't, but its durability and weather resistance are lower than Japanese paints.
Please understand this before purchasing.

[Installation notes]

• This product has a bolt embedded in the resin body. Please be careful, as "excessive" tightening may damage the bolt joint and the body
• Holding thin parts of the sculpture, or connecting parts on multi-piece designs, while tightening may break the resin. Always hold the thick "main body" of the resin when tightening the nut
• On some models the bolt is too long to install (Vespa, etc.). It takes a little time, but we can make one with your preferred bolt size, so just ask
• It may not be usable with license plate covers, etc.
• Installation on a car requires tightening with a nut.
