discussion WW2 German Elite Infantryman - 1:16

[pjgtech]

Been otherwise occupied recently, not had anything on the modelling bench, but have now started my next little project.
A nice Tamiya figure in 1:16th scale, WW2 German Elite Infantryman with equipment.
Not many parts but has the usaul Tamiya nice details.
Box and sprue....

Made a start, main figure torso put together, then the legs, then the arms, with careful positioning of the arms (after adding the fingers) so that the MG is held correctly.....
Its now ready for priming....

It will need a very small amount of filler to a couple of seams, and some very light sanding as well, but seems to be a good fit so far.
There is a recess in the front torso, as the grenade sits there, behind the belt buckle, to be added later.

Interesting subject, not seen one of those before, will enjoy seeing how you tackle it

You do realise 'elite infantryman' means Waffen-SS....... They were the only ones that got the spotty camo uniforms if I remember rightly
