Hi gents,

After going through three other figures and deciding after getting them done that they just did not “fit” the scene.  This figure from Airborne Miniatures finally worked.  The base is all one molded piece and was painted with AK lacquers with weathering from pastel powders, oil based washes, and Vallejo weathering products

The figure’s smock was based painted with lacquer but after that everything else was hand brushed with acrylics from both the AK and Vallejo family of paints.  The straps on the rifle and anti tank weapon are foil strips.  

The helmet in the mud puddle under the tank came from one of the three figures I tossed ahead of the figure that finally fit.  The muddy water is the AK puddles product.
