GI at Bastogne (1 Viewer)

[blaster]

Found this piece lurking among the peanut butter bottles. Its a simple conversion of an Airfix head, helmet and rifle on a Dragon body made many years ago. The gloves were sculpted with putty. I am now resurrecting the piece to put on a base.

I decided to remove the beard.

Victor,

he looks much better with a shave .... but maybe when you paint him, how about giving him some stubble or 5 o'clock shadow ???

Hi John,

Exactly my sentiments, too. Perhaps more like 7 oclock shadows, as in deep purple?

Face painted in oils. That's one weary looking GI.

I was forced to do quite a bit of spring cleaning and in the process, I misplaced this figure for a while. I finally relocated it again and will continue to work on it.

I painted the figure and then placed it on a small base. Added a small fence.

Just painted the groundwork and fence.

I added mud to the figure and then added white glue and sprinkled snow all over.

Hi Matt,

Thanks for your comment. Simple WWII conversion. More to come.
