It’s a slightly old kit; I am trying to build this German Army Engineer unit.
The Dragon kit parts I built before are better shaped, and I changed as much as possible. The top is its included parts; the below is probably Dragon Gen 2 series. The accessories like a water bottle and camping pot molds are dull.
The working person is squatting, and the soldier is carrying an explosive tube.
The engineer has a flamethrower, and the soldier has a land mine detector. There is no strong relation between each figure so much.
The head is like this. And this time, I tried to focus on the head painting this way.
It’s difficult to answer which is better to paint a head separately or after being jointed. When gluing together, there is a mess-up risk. And there is a possibility of the joint gap opening. I like the painted whole figure after it’s glued together, except it isn’t a challenging pose to draw.
It doesn’t become stable, but I attached the handle to start a detailed painting.
I wonder if it’s better than usual. I had a lot of resin heads purchased from ancient times. Do not use aggressively in the future unless all heads will be wasted. I’m enthusiastic about a figure building now, but I don’t know when this seal will cool down. I’ll use the stock of nice resin heads next time.

Combat engineer has been requested the considerably hard duties, including the blast of the obstacle and the search of the minefield, etc.
A soldier with an explosive cylinder, Bangalore torpedo. Gun sling is self-made.
When it was separated face parts, it looked good; when it was installed with the body, an expression was slightly relaxed. It’s not suited to the battlefield.
The mark of the helmet is good in detail. I used Tamiya’s German Soldier Decals.
Everyone rolls up their sleeves and has high morale. I think it was pretty hot because the battle of Kursk was in midsummer.
It is a pose of operating a mine detector.
I think this situation pose is rare in the plastic injection kit.
I made the connection cord of a detection stick and the device on his shoulder with the metal wire. It is strange if this point is not connected.
All four soldiers are looking down, and all faces are not seen well. I should have tried painting the detailed face a little more.
He is setting the detonator in a small explosive.
This pose is rare; he gets down on both knees and stoops.
It is a slightly severe atmosphere.
He is equipped with a flamethrower.
Ummm, his expression is no sense of urgency, such as the young guy that burned the weeds in the farm work…
I suppose the fuel tank will explode when receiving a fire to the tank on his back. Flamethrower’s mission is very high risk.
I think it looks sharp with the shoulder and lapel insignia marks. The face is most important, I think.
