Nice to see a Panzer crewman wearing the working overalls, and the work on Calvin's blog shows that the figure isn't limited to being seated on a Panther. The puppy is a nice touch

The commander looks great as well - I'm so glad you don't go the half-figure route, Taesung!

The 1/16 figure.... wow! What a great month to have 3 new figures all sculpted by the master!

Thanks for the review Pat.

Hi Taesung. Great figures .. as always. One question that springs to mind .... is the figure holding the puppy "compromised" because of this? Is the detail still there, or is it sculpted in a way to surround/fit the puppy? I love this figure ... has so many possibilities ... and Im sure itīll be seen countless times ... Im just wondering if it could easily be converted to not hold the puppy?

Thanks for the review Pat.



ooh! -not a review Frank
Actually I did hardly any work on this story-the way it works is that Taesung submitted the story to both Armorama and HF and the HF boys published it first, I just posted a link to it in the What's new page.

WOW this young grenadier is awesome.
He really brings a lot of atmosphere! A must-have for sure!
I wonder, is 1/16th is the same as 120 mm?

Thanks for the kind words!

The puppy is sculpted onto the body and the right arm.
Conversion would be difficult, I'm afraid...

1/16 is more like 105mm-110mm.

Thanks for reply Taesung, I would have like to make a small vignette with this grenadier and another one, but well...it will be a stand alone then.
