This is a 1/35 scale conversion from Dragon kit (Operation Barbarosa), man drinking from water bottle.
I have a series of photos from my Militaria book on the 2nd Pz. div. in Normandy, these soldiers walking down a dirt road, and they're all loaded with all this gear. One soldier in particular has a Panzerfaust, with a handgrenade strapped to his shovel, and is also carrying two Panzershreck shells strapped with some rope hanging over his shoulder. I thought this would be cool to model.
The modeling involves shaving down the insides of the lower torso and inner sides of his legs, creating more of a natural less static stride/pose, resculpting some of the folds. lead foil straps, shoulder boards, sculpted the cuffsand reworked the left hand. Base coated in acrylics and finished in oils.
Thanks for looking!
