Hello dear Planeters,

I suppose that many of you know the famous figure of German MG42 gunner Totenkopf, Kharkov 1943 which was sculpted in the 90s by John Rosengrant for KIRIN.
That figure was released in 1/9 (200mm) scale and now for those who prefer more compact scale, Jeff Shiu released his version of this figure in 1/16 (120mm) scale.

Jeff’s figure meets today’s highest standards in matter of desing as well as amount and quality of details, so even though it is almost half of the size of its older and bigger brother, it is not worse in any aspect at all.

Inside the box we find 23 parts (10 parts for ammo belts) plus scenic base, all nicely casted in gray resin.

I could not stop myself to assemble the figure temporarily using BlueTack

Final conclusion
Definitely a "must have" for all fans of WWII German figures in this scale.
 
Not my usual thing to paint but that is superb and emailed Jeff earlier for a sale. I rather suspect this is a classic in the making that won't be around for too long before they are all gone!
