This is one of your best aquisitions yet.

PJ did a great job on this figure! The face and cloth looks very convincing.

Fantastic work! The flesh tones are very realistic specially around the shaved scalp area. Shading on the uniform is superv. Looks lifelike.Toast What company made that figure and I assume it's resin?

Thanks so much for your kind words. Yes, this is a resin kit but I don't know what company made it. Earlier this year I bidded a resin figure from Ebay, it's 200mm Oberjager Hermann Goering Division (1:9) at very cheap price ($19.99). But when I received it the helmet was missing. I sent mail asking for helmet but the shop said they had only U.S. helmet and I agreed to accept that because I have two excess 1:9 German helmets from my other 1:9 plastic kits (Kfz.2 and BMW w/ Sidecar). It was a pleasant surprise when they sent replacement parts, not only the U.S. helmet but the whole figure set! So I got this 200mm 101st Airborne figure for free. (I remember this one was also available for bid at that time but costed around $60-$70 and nobody bidded for it).

As for the 200mm Oberjager, it's now under construction by the same modeler. Recently I've seen it still available for bid for about $35 but no more 101st Airborne. The shop from time to time will relist the Oberjager and another 200mm U.S. Tanker figure on a cupola which costs about $70-$80. If you search for them on the days they're available, you'll find them.
