New guy here. I've been lurking here for a few weeks. I wanted to say hello to other model fanatics. I've seen some of the work by folks here and I'm totally blown away by them. Simply incredible work.
I'm wanting to build a dio with a sniper theme. WWII with some German snipers. Basically who makes these types of figures and where do I go to get them? It could be Russian, German, even Americans but I'd like to get some Germans. I'm bouncing around an idea with snow and buildings.
Could you guys help me out on where to look for some German sniper figures?
Thanks,
Andy

Hi w30olds. Welcome to Armorama. Hope you enjoy your visits here!
I built these four Dragon figures about a year ago. Really good figures....recommended!
Below you can see my efforts at little dioramas with them. The winter camo snipers were part of the first dio campaign here! Both sets of ruins are Italeri. So I made up the other set in a different season!

Thanks for the welcome plasticbattle. Nice looking dio you have there. Looks like something I'm looking at doing. Looks awesome!!!! Hopefully mine will be as nice when I get it finished.
Take care,
Andy

If all else fails, consult FAUST's "Distraction: Greta's Revenge". It's a great dio and he showed how he made everything. ( Oh, and Welcome to Armorama!
