This is the Tamiya 1/16 Machine Gunner.
I made this figure yonks ago, but go back to it now and again to 'Have a Play'.
You get two clothing options. A great coat or normal uniform. When I originally made him, I went for the latter. Yesterday, I decided to add the white stuff.
When I first made the kit on here, I altered the arms to enable yer man to cradle both weapons. The kit supplied the MG, I supplied the MP40. The rags are bits of toilet roll. The various straps are paper.
The base is made up of scrap polystyrene and lolly sticks. I used Vallejo white for the snow and a dark grey for the weapons.
I've tried to give an impression of hopeless, but still fighting look. He's managed to find various bits of equipment and has fastened them to an old belt.
Although slightly wounded, he still manages a fag!
He's also managed to find some old white cloth, lace curtains, whatever, to drape over his uniform.
I've given him a well battered, ice encrusted, frightened, exhausted, blistered and cold face. ( or tried to anyway)
...and the original
Cheers.
