This is my
latest work. It is the 1/16th scale Marine from S&T. Now let me just say I
suspect that this was a recast. I bought this figure off of e-bay about 3 years
ago so I really did not know how to discern recasts from originals by listings
at that time and I did not pay attention to the fine print. When I received the
figure it had the usual picture of the figure on the box but it was of poor
quality. The box was also not a white box so already the red flags went up. As
I opened it up the color of the resin was spot on, however it was very glossy
in texture and was pretty much horrible all the way around. This is the first
figure that actually took me longer to prep then to paint so you can imagine how
terrible it was. I contacted the seller way back when but after about 4 e-mails
of denial I just gave up and shelved the figure. Anyway I got the urge to
torture myself and get this guy done as his pose was always one of my favorites
from S&T. Enough rambling, he as usual is painted in Vallejo acrylics with
Citadel paints for the metallics.

Andrea 90MM German sniper...
Here is my
latest work. It is the 90MM offering from Andrea Miniatures. The figure was
cast in white metal and the base with the wall section was resin. Nice kit overall
and a good opportunity to really dirty this guy up giving the environment he is
in and his light colored winter camo. He could fit into many different
campaigns such as BOB on the western front to Cherkassy, battles around Kharkov
and even Stalingrad in the east. He is as usual painted in Vallejo acrylics
with Citadel paints for the metallics.

PMC Miniatures French Goumier...
Hi all.
This will be the box art for an upcoming release from PMC Miniatures. It is a
resin cast 1/16th scale bust of a French Goumier, 17th Tabor, Italian campaign
1943-45. Nice clean sculpt and definitely something off the beaten path as far
as WWII goes. As usual he is painted in Vallejo Acrylics and Citadel paints for
the metallics.
