During my years of metal detecting I have picked a fair amount of rifle casings from the old battlefields, POW- and army camps. I have chosen some interesting ones and made them into some unique and historical cuff links, both stylish and great conversation starters. 
I found many of them in trenches or fighting positions and the spent casings had most probably been fired against the enemy. 
​They come in cool little military style wooden boxes and they are for sale in the webshop :

This 1/16 figure from Andrea Miniatures had cluttered my workbench for a while but I had it completed last night, and Im fairly happy with the result. The photos don`t really do it justice but I am looking into making a better set up for taking pics.
Anyhow it depicts a Wehrmacht soldier on the march Eastwards on dusty roads. I used a nice fragment from a artillery grenade as a base. Painted with Vallejo Model Color and a little bit of some artists oil paints. Weathered with Mig`s Dark Wash and a little bit of pigment.

​"Invasion in the North.1940". 1/35. The last figure I completed this weekend. Mounted on a fragment of a British navy shell fired on German troops and civillian Norwegians outside Narvik in May 1940.

​"Bren Gunner.1940" Scale 1/35. Mounted on three .303 casings fired by a Bren, that I found in British fighting positions from 1940 in Northern Norway.

I painted up this Dragon figure this weekend and made a little base for it using a screwcap and a ignitor cord with porcelain ball from a M24 handgrenade. A quick build that will add lots of life to a relic display :)

Yesterday morning I completed this 1/35 figure vignette. It is a Dragon figure mounted on a roadwheel fragment found in the old frontlines of the Kurland Kessel. Hope you like it :)
