iwik Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 (edited) Hi y'all! As I was reading the awesome autobiography by Guy SAJER of his experience on the eastern front during WWII, I wanted to paint a german miniature. I have plenty in store (who hasn't? ) and I took my linkings to this Panzer Art miniature. However, I did change the head for a more juvenile looking one, and for this Alpine Miniatures heads are perfect. I also changed the original ammo box (way too thin) for a photoetched one. I also added a white camo painted helmet to further give the impression that winter, if not there, was close past or coming. Painted with acrylics only. Hope you'll like it Ciao IWik Edited December 14, 2020 by iwik 23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Dave S Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 This is a nice piece of work. Good to see an original portrayal of German infantryman. It's an interesting book, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevehnz Posted January 1, 2023 Share Posted January 1, 2023 I have just read Sajer's book, an incredibly powerful read & upon looking for any comments on BM about it found this, I like the haunted look in the eyes, I can imagine it was universal among Sajer & his comrades. A nicely done figure. Steve. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
