It is a figure set with the theme of a German army battlefield medic.
The bottom of the chin is slightly plumped because the face is downward; this resin head matches the situation.
Since the pillow is made of straw and the head does not fit perfectly, I adjusted the gap with epoxy putty.
Wounded soldier and medicare glued to the end. The shape of the parts is strangely twisted.

Additional work with a soldier’s bandage and helmet strap with a thin strip of masking tape.
I airbrushed Tamiya’s acrylic before face painting. This matte surface is suitable for brush painting. But I felt the degree of the matte condition is too strong.
The face was painted with oil paint, uniforms, and water-based acrylic and enamel.

Replace the desk stand with an LED light stand that is brighter than before, and the work gets faster.
I am thinking of making a big flag for the emergency station. It is made by sticking a decal on a piece of tissue paper covered with melted putty.
I wonder if the nature of the decal is slightly different. After all, it isn’t easy to stick a decal on a tissue. Even using a softening agent, it got peeled off. In the end, I decided to stick it on a thin plastic sheet, but it still did not go very well, and eventually, it was forcibly fixed with an adhesive. Previously, it worked well when I made a Japanese Marine Soldier.

Medics displayed the Red Cross and did medical care, such as treating injured soldiers. I think not being a target of the enemy is just because of attaching a Red Cross mark.
A medic walking and giving a shoulder to an injured soldier wound a bandage on the head. He is wearing a Red Cross armband. This medic paints the helmet white and puts the Red Cross marks on the front, back, left, and right.
I changed all four heads to resin heads and painted the face with oil. Uniform etc., is a combination of aqueous acrylic paint and enamel paint.
A soldier walking with a shoulder is hard to join and is challenging to paint, but it might be an interesting motif.
The injured soldier on a stretcher has no trouser belt. The front button of the uniform is fully open, and the shirt is visible.
It isn’t easy to paint the straw pillow. I mixed yellow and dark yellow and made some gradation.
Squatting medics took something from the glove compartment and first aid. Other medical pouches and cases are included in the kit and designed to attach red cross decals.
Medic figures are rare. I have never made it before. I used Tamiya’s German army decal set of a belt buckle, shoulder strap, etc.
Medical soldiers do not have weapons but seem to have carried handguns in the field of the eastern area, Operation Barbarossa. Is it because there was a tendency for war legislation not to comply much with that war? The German army was equipped with a first aid kit for each soldier and had the high technique of field emergency treatment, perhaps during the winning battle.
