Hello all, I have had this 54mm metal figure from Andrea in my grey army for ages. It depicts a German Infantryman during the Polish campaign in 1939, I believe the idea came from a photograph in the Signal magazine. Once I got this fellow out of his box I realized what a good kit it is, the fit of parts is excellent. I added a hand grenade to his modified right boot, the German troops are pictured carrying grenades in this manner. The other additions I made were a rifle sling made out of paper, some helmet decals from the Archer Range and a Polish Army cap from Dragon via the spares box. I made the barbed wire myself using the Stan Catchpol method and painted the figure with Andrea and Vallejo acrylics. I enjoyed painting and posing this fellow and also now have a WW2 German Infantryman in my collection. Thank you Dennis
