Hi all,

I finished sculpting this. hope you like.

really like this

Marc

Me too Marc (Even though it's not 'my' period) What's the scale?

Paul

That's a really nice sculpt though I am genuinely intrigued - perhaps it is based upon a photo? - why a sniper would be working with a dog where the need to remain utterly still and silent was paramount. With a dog in tow whilst working in no mans land, what could possibly go wrong.....?

Gary

Very nice Kaz.

Steve

Maybe the dog is there to retrieve the stick grenade once thrown?

Cheers,

Gino

I think the figure looks good but maybe holding something else would be a change - some sacking for concealment, ammunition or maybe just nothing as Jason suggests.

I'm not sure about the dog though as it doesn't relate to the job of sniping. Unless of course there's some proof contrary to this theory.

Cheers

Will this be produced for the public? Agree on the dog, just not needed. And as well on the grenade - but guessing with a little surgery, that can be dealt with. Obviously I do like the sculpt - well done.

Adrien

Agree to the previous notions about some aspects that were done several times before but I think that the figure is versatile and is easy to adapt or convert. Very common configurations of Stormtroopers with shield and club or entrenching tool for close combat / Mauser 08 etc. are still rare or were never done in miniature. What I like most about this figure is the excellent face.
Nice to see that you are running your own line of figures Kaz! How much is the price of this new release?

Cheers, Martin

Thanks for your comments, guys.

I knew everybody would say so about "dog with sniper?" or "Why siniper holding a grenade?" , etc.
This is just my "imagination" based on my taste of "what looks cool as figures" and "no one knows 'everything' happened at battlefield except actually taken in photos or written articles.
We are too much 'chained' to historical accuracy, sometimes it shut the doors of artistic imagination.
Some people may say "This is not a historical figure, it's a fantasy figure", but that's OK for me.

For those who care about historical accuracy, here's my answer. These are the possibilities from basic idea.
To me an important thing is to create something new, to make our hobby more interesting.

Hi Kaz !
I really love this figure and really hope for a commercial release (I would highly prefer 1/16 or 1/9 instead of odd 1/12 but why not)
Btw I like your way of thinking. This figure looks cool, badass with his scoped k98, handgrenade and dog !
So keep the cooler fantasy way please

If this is a commercial piece, (please say yes,) count me in.
I definitely agree with Babelfish about the gas masks for both of them, great look
Wouldn't be hard to swap the grenade for a leash.

Tom

Great work Kaz !

Fine sculpting!

As to the grenade, dog and pose...whatever.

All the best,
Dan

Thank everybody,

Here's another version of this figure, Replaced the rifle with MP18/1.
for those who care about a sniper with hand grenade and dog.

Looks really good Kaz. If ever artistic license were to be nixed from this hobby, we'd all be in trouble. Ruck On, I say!


Cheers, Ski.
