Here's another one I just finished. I converted Warriors' 1/35 Waffen SS machinegunner. The firing stance of the trooper - firing an MG42 from the hip - seemed unrealistic, so I swapped it for an MP-44. This involved hollowing out the left hand and resculpting its fingers. As for the right hand, I simply cut it off the MG42 with the pistol grip in hand and slapped a Tamiya MP-44 (w/o it's pistol grip) onto it. It was my first attempt at painting camo in a very long time.

All constructive criticism is always welcome ...

Hey Pete,

This looks really nice. I like how you made the groundwork fit the figure. Nice job on the cameo.

Wow Pete,thats a sweet figure,love the action pose and the uneven groundwork,really sets it off nicely.

A fine job Pete. Good choice on the weapon swap.

Hey Pete,

Looks great, working on a similar piece, alas no pics.

GREAT job Pete! The groundwork looks awesome!

Pete, Wow!! Looks very good. I'm agree with Jaume about the pic to see the camo.

But it looks great. The groundwork is terrific.

I think its looking great... but how about some better pics Amigo!

Awesome work Petey! The leather looks real; how did you get the sheen? Didja use acrylics for the camo? Can't wait to see this at the Atlanta show my brother!

All the best
