PANZERFAUST



Modelling  figures with a Panzerfaust was a must for me.
While engrossed in gaming, I constantly  forget that I had them at my disposal, as I focused on my Panzerschreck for anti tank work.
These figures are a  mix of Warlord games German Plastic Infantry and Grenadiers  about to fire their Panzerfaust.

Each figure has a fixed  Panzerfaust in the firing position and one on the base, which can be removed. 
This ability serves to indicate how many Panzerfaust are available in the section. 
Once all the Panzerfausts have been used, the figure is removed and replaced with a normal rifleman.


Each figure has a tiny magnet implanted in the base and on the underside of the weapon. Green stuff putty is used to reinforce the magnet on the Panzerfaust .
The rifle straps where added using green stuff putty.

German Grenadier popping up out of the grass to perform a Ambush ,with the sun behind him blinding the tank. 


cheers John

    Another great idea from you John with the magnets and the spare panzerfaust on the base for keeping tally.
    The last photo of the tank ambush looks superb. What did you use for your grass effects with that picture, it looks like the real thing?
    Cheers,
    Pat.

      Thanks Pat, the grass is just a light brown terry bear fur, sprayed with a rust-oleum satin green colour.
