Feldwebel, 516 Infantry Regiment, Stalingrad, 1942

I finally added the finishing touches to this quick project in which the main purpose was to present the figure against a simple and novel backdrop using the stairs and truss from MiniArt Model's Pedestrian bridge. I am very pleased on the outcomes and there are plans to utilize more of such structural layouts for future projects.

This is the beginning of the second installment of the Stalingrad series I am crafting using H3 Models HS35054 WW2 German NCO. Painted with AK Interactive Gen 3 acrylics.

Hauptmann, Infantry Regiment 516, Stalingrad, 1942

This a work in progress of another Stalingrad themed subject. The figure is a 3D print from H3 Models (HS35052) fitted with a spare head from Panzerart. The backdrop is composed with a flight of stairs taken from Miniart Models pedestrian bridge set attached to a  brick wall section from Hero Hobby Kits. As one can see, adding steps to your backdrop can indeed level up your presentation 😬.

IDF 7th Armoured Brigade, Valley of Tears, Yom Kippur 1973

Last week, my Canon EOS 650D gave up on me and gave me a good reason to trade it in with the local Canon dealership to get a discount on the new Canon EOS R8 camera. 

I took some test shots with the EOS R8 on one of my personal favorite projects and I am no doubt very impressed with the colours and the  degree of sharpness of the image.

Alpine Miniatures - III/SS-PzGren-Rgt 2, Ardennes, 1944

During the past week, I found myself refurbishing an old Alpine Miniatures boxart completed back in 2010 with some additions to the groundwork and minor touch ups for the figures. 

I got into some creative mischief with the oil drums by toppling them over the edge of the base; "break the fourth wall" so to speak and adding some levity to the scene. 

Cheers,
