SS Machine Gunner

Hello, This is my latest figure. It is from Jeff Shiu. I would like any suggestion or critiques you have. This the second 120 mm figure I have painted (the last one was about 3 years ago) and it feels almost like starting over. Thanks, Rusty

Amazing work mate

What you have done is excellent, great shading and detailing. Flesh tone look good.
Is that how the MG34 should sit though? It looks quite unnatural as it sticks out the back quite a bit.
Great work

Thanks guys for the kind words. I am glad you like it.
Ben the MG34 is placed as shown on the box art. This figure is sculpted based on a picture of a guy holding the MG34 in the same way. The picture can be found in "Waffen SS Uniforms and Equipment". I carried a M60 for the USMC and I would would sometimes sling it and hold on the front sight assembly in the same manner.
