100mm WW2 German Street Fighter

Sold through Andrea Miniatures, this figure has a wonderful sculpt. The pose and facial expressions are superb. To add to the overall image is a wonderful base. The city sidewalk, two walls, and window frame make up the majority of the base. No work-in-progress thread for this one (sorry).

Here are a couple real images I used for reference.

Jarrod I added the German propaganda poster from an on-line image printed to scale, torn, and weathered. We also added glass shards to the window frame along with broken pieces on the sill and ground. On the figure we used lead foil for the MP40 sling and the gas mask canister strap. Other items we added to the kit include a wire for the folded metal stock, the shoulder and collar insignia along with the Iron cross button ribbon (Tamiya decal spares), and a metal / PE Iron Cross on the left *** pocket. 

Paints used were from Tamiya, Vallejo, MMaster, and LifeLike. Additional colors added with pastels, washes, and water colors.

His final home will be in a clear display cube. We are overall very happy with the results. These are the natural sun and shade images (outside).

And here he is meeting the Greek Hoplite figure who is giving him directions (?)

Last is a photo of my little helper with the end result....

DRUMS01, I think that it turned out fantastic!  The shading and weathering help to add to the realism.  You get that "desperate" feeling from the soldier as the wars comes to a close.  Your little helper looks like he is very proud of you you and approves of the end result.

Nice job Ben.  Sure looks like a nice piece.  Andrea Miniatures puts out some nice stuff.

Thanks,

That looks awesome!!! Great job on the figure and as Ben said the desperation feeling is papatable. And nice to see Jarrod having a blast!
