WSS Grenadier "Wiking"
1/16th scale resin
Sculpted by Pongsatorn Kanthaboon
Painted by Gino Poppe
16 resin parts

Taesung Hamms brings us another 1/16th scale resin figure depicting the German WSS Grenadier "Wiking" division.

This kit comes in a sturdy green box with all the parts in separate bags to ensure against loss and layered between sections of foam to guard against breakage.

The figure comes with an alternate head with helmet.

Above you see both selections of heads.

Above is the separate cast helmet to use with the head right above.

The right and left boots are cast separately and dry-fitted snuggly into their respective sockets.

Conclusion:
An excellent figure produced by Alpine Miniatures with minimal seam lines and casting blocks to remove. The detail is clean and sharp and dry-fitment was excellent. Highly recommended.
