1/16 scale Paratrooper Arnhem 1944



This is the latest figure i am sculpting and will represent a Paratrooper from the 2nd battalion the Parachute Regiment,Arnhem 1944.

For this project i have made the basic shape of the figure with Milliput over a wire frame,the lighter putty is Magicsculpt which i will use for the detailing of the figure.

i am basing the figure on the initial few days of the battle and hence the fact he is carrying lots of equipment,much of which would have been discarded over the coming days when it got down to house to house fighting.
