I have been working on this figure for the last week or so. The figure represents an Obergrenadier of 2nd Kompanie, 1st Bataillon, Panzergrenadier-Regiment 60, 116 Panzer Division 'Der Windhund'.

WHAT A MOUTH FULL!!!!

Time line is August 1944, in the Falaise Pocket.

Nice figure,I know not every body likes 1/6th scale figures,but as far as Im concerned they
are just a larger scale of model.Have you got the 12ins action figure book by Histoire & collections,it shows how to age unifoms etc; and also check the Kampfgruppe Von Apt diorama
website,huge outdoor dioramas with tanks,trains and planes.
