Here is my
latest work. It is the Jeff Shiu 200MM offering of the MG34 gunner. I'll
probably nameplate this one as "Stalingrad MG34 Gunner" as he looks
the part. Great sculpt in all areas I just did not like the method of assembling
the right arm and the gun. Since the gun is cast in his right arm it has to be
attached while your painting his uniform because of the way it attaches. It
kinda attaches like it is a severed limb (those of you who have this figure
know what I mean as I really can't explain it better than that) so you have to
finish off the greatcoat with the MG attached which causes other problems and I
just don't like painting like that. Other than that one dislike I really
enjoyed him. A really nice figure to dirty up and make look really combat
hardened. Groundwork was part of a resin wall I had left over from a previous
kit and the bricks and other pieces or groundwork were carved from balsa foam.
he is as always painted in Vallejo Acrylics, Citadel metallics and Windsor and
Newton series 7 sable brushes.
