561st Volksgrenadier Division, East Prussia 1944

Over the past week, I have been intermittently working on this minor figure conversion based on Tamiya's most recent German Late War Infantry Set. I swapped out the stock face for another from Tamiya's Wehrmacht Tank Crew Set and replaced the right hand to grip onto the Panzerfaust (the set provides two extra Panzerfausts). The groundwork is made up of miscellaneous items found in my scrap box.

August 2023 Issue of Armour Modelling

After months of anticipation, my article on Tamiya's late war German Infantry Set's complete construction and painting process has been published in the August 2023 issue of Armour Modelling magazine. I am also honored to have my work grace the cover. Many thanks to the Armour Modelling Magazine editorial staff for their diligence and the opportunity to collaborate.

20. Waffen-Grenadier-Division der SS (estnische Nr. 1). Battle of Tannenberg Line, 1944

This is a 1/35 scale conversion based on Tamiya's upcoming release German Infantry Set Late WW2.  I replaced the original face with the one from the US Tankcrew Set (ETO). The collar tabs are taken from Rado Miniatures whereas the eagle patch and chevron on the shoulder are from Archer Transfers. The sleeve shield is made from thinly rolled putty and painted with  Estonia's national colours of blue, black and white. The belt buckle is sculpted from Miliput Super Fine. Painting is done with AK Gen 3 acrylics.
