Dog faced Soldier

[Joe55]

Greetings all!  Here is an Alpine miniatures figure of a 3rd ID Infantryman that I just completed.  This figure was sculpted by John Rosengrant and is in 1/16th scale (120mm).  I wanted to represent a member of the 1st BN, 7th IN Regt., during the fight in the Vosges mountains in 1944.  Hope you all like the way he turned out.

Joe, that´s another fantastic figure, thanks very much for sharing! Your paintwork is simply awesome. Would love to see a close-up of the soldier´s face.

I agree with Proud Kraut. Stunning work! I too would like to see some close ups.

Very nice work, Joe. The closeups of his face really tell the story. The uniform and equipment are exquisite, and the groundwork really puts it over the top. I always like how Alpine sculpts their figures. My thing is that they always lack in action poses. But still, excellent!

 

Semper Fi.

Thanks Manny, I appreciate it!

 

Yeah, Alpine does really great figures and hopefully they'll come out with some in more dynamic poses.  Thanks again!

Awesome work.  Face sculping is off the chart and the painting to bring it to life is extraordinary!  Huzzah!!

I totally agree with all the above comments! The shading and colors of equipment is fantastic.  You've got a great eye and steady hand, well done.
