A couple weeks ago I posted looking for 28mm US Paras with panzerfausts, but the consensus seemed to be "no." See bucksurdu.com/blog for some that I made. Buck

The idea is interesting to model. The flash on your camera washed out a lot of detail, so I can't really see the detail that well.

"The flash on your camera washed out a lot of detail, so I can't really see the detail that well." That flash is not from his camera. It is from a burning Sid Ka Fizz 251 burning just down the road.

Take THAT, you Sid Ka Fizz!

If you read General Gavin's "On to Berlin", they used captured panzerfausts occasionally .

On to Berlin is where I originally got the idea. This was reinforced a couple weeks ago when I was in the 82nd Airborne museum and saw the instructions that had been translated into English.

Those came out very well. The "ready" pose is trickier than just hanging one on a figure's back, and yours look good.

Thanks for the kind words, all.

Oh yeah! Great figures, too!
