Here is a WWII Canadian Officer, completely scratchbuilt using the spare crew of the African version of the Tamiya WWII Bren Gun Carrier. The pistol was was from the Tamiya WWII American Weapons set. The webbing was from Tamiya's WWIIBritish Infantry on Patrol along with the legs and boots. The binoculars were from a crewman from Tamiya's WWII PAK 36 Anti-Tank gun.
The figure was hand-painted using Tamiya, Lifecolour, and Humbrol paints. The hardest part for me was actually painting the the watch on the figures left hand. The eyes were easy and everything was painted (including the eyes) using a magnifying glass to make it easier to see.
Hope you enjoy the figures.

1.View attachment 190842 -Inspiration came from Fleetway Publication's 'let 'em Have It's ' "Death or Glory".
2.View attachment 190843 -The comic follows the story of a Canadian Platoon and its officer (who has mistakenly killed four of his own men thinking they were Nazis during a rainy day and struggles to be accepted by his platoon) as they move up through Italy.
3.View attachment 190844 -This is after I begun painting the figure. The eyes were actually very easy and fun to paint. The arms I chose have the sleeves rolled up, showing the temperature of Italy at that time.
4.View attachment 190845 -This is with the Helmet on (please excuse the cluttered desk).
5.View attachment 190846 -This is the final picture with bino's and the pistol. I was unsure of how to position the arms and which hands to place the pistol and binoculars.
