Winter Panzergrenadier
1/35th Figure Set No. FST057
Another nice figure
from Firestorm of a Winter Panzergrenadier wearing a winter parka with
the hood in place over his head.
There are 11 resin parts cast in a light cream coloured resin which should make painting the flesh tones easier if using oils with the only cleanup needed is the usual casting block to be removed.
The figure is in two main parts with the head included with the upper torso for good definition with the raised hood. There are separate arms, boots and personal equipment. He is armed with a Kar98 and a stick grenade cast integrially with the upper body and all the parts have very nice details and fabric folds included.
Definition around the head and hood undercuts is especially nice with a small piece of bandage included over one eye for a bit of animation.
This figure along with other Firestorm German figures could easily be used in any diorama setting together or as a single figure.
