I made these two the last days and completed them this morning. They are Dragon figures in scale 1/35 painted with Vallejo acrylics. I used lids from German detonator boxes and rifle and Mg casings as bases. Hope you like them :)

A friend of mine have a German Soldbuch and a photo of the soldier named Paul Pellens and he wanted a figure representing him. I found a figure from Alpine Miniatures that would fit and went to work. I had to scrape off some details from the very nicely sculpted figure before I could glue it together and splash some paint on it. The tunic and breeches needed to be painted in the Pea pattern camo which is a bit difficult but I am fairly pleased with the result. The figure comes with two optional heads, one with field cap and the other with a helmet. I chose the field cap as I think it looked better for this project. I fixed the completed figure to a wooden plinth and made my Girlfriend ,who is quite skilled , to make the grave marker which I fitted to the front of the base.
Now the workbench is cleared, but that won`t last long coz I have ideas for a few new little scenes:)

This exellent 1/16 scale figure comes from Quasar Miniatures and when I saw it I knew I really had to build and paint it. The sculpting and casting is very good so very little clean up was needed. The parts fitted perfectly together with a few tiny gaps only to fill. I painted it using Vallejo Acrylics and weathered it with pigments and washes from Mig. As a base I chose a part from a blown up German helmet which I thought was fitting for this scene and Im quite happy with the result, I hope you like it too:)

I had two relic helmets I didn`t know what to do with until I found this figure in my stash. It is a Verlinden resin figure in scale 1/16 depicting a Gebirgsjäger sniper. The quality of the figure isn`t the best and some of the details are a bit off, i.e the tunic has Heer collar tabs while the cap has Waffen SS insigna. I decided to leave it as is and just paint it up using the two helmets stacked upon eachother as a base. Inside the bottom helmet I added a Led strip so it doubles as a lamp.
​Hope you like it :)

Around New Year Legenda reburied some WW1 Latvian Riflemen and at the same time uncovered a restored memorial at the cemetery. Originally it was a cross made by timbers and when I saw pics of it I knew I had to make it into a miniature. I had a German 77mm shell shrapnel found not far away from the memorial site so it was a natural base to use. I made the cross from some flower sticks which I worked a bit to look like it having bark. I printed out a scaled version of the plaque and fixed it to a piece of plastic which I cut to fit.
I gifted this piece to Vlad, a member of Legenda who has spent a lot of time in the forests around Riga finding lost soldiers from WW1.

A single figure project I finished today. It is a 1/35 scale figure from Dragon which I fixed to a small forest groundwork and placed it on a part from a Russian RPG-43 grenade  found in the Kurland Kessel.

I recently completed this Newspaper Kiosk project. It is a lasercut cardboard kit made by Plus Model, I had it for years, built and placed in a box and forgotten about until not long ago when a museum wanted it for its exhibition. I found it from the boxes, dusted it , painted a newspaperseller figure made by MK35 and made a small interesting base to put it all on :) So now it is off to its new home in the museum :)
