6th Guards Tank Army, Battle of Korsun-Cherkassy, 1944

I recalled making this quick conversion of an early Alpine figure (35040) paired with another Alpine head from set (35282) back in 2023.

It has been languishing on my shelf for quite some time, and this weekend I thought I would give it a final push through the door and give it a quick and simple groundwork using parts from the scrap box. The legs were repositioned to fit into the grooves of the tracks to attain a more natural stance. I also added a white flag fashioned from epoxy putty in the background to echo the breeze carrying the flaps of the tanker's helmet. 


I painted the groundwork and sealed it with a mist of Flat Clear before adding glass powder to represent the light snow. 


Cheers,

Calvin
