I am trying to create a diorama using DML Kit 6730 Tiger I with Wittmann Crew and is looking for a German cameraman figure.
Any suggestion where I can get one that is appropriate for the scene?

Hello there,

One of the Dragon Tigers (6252) came with a guy with a camera.
Perhaps someone may have a spare figure they didn't use??
Might need to give him some gloves or something but maybe suits your needs.

Cheers,

Sean

I seem to recall Verlinden made a resin Kriegs gerickter?
I know I've seen one somewhere before but it's been a while.

Sean is right,, DML's 6252 has a camera crew and the camera is one of those that used the large reels. Box art shows what appears to be some recording for propaganda footage. The figures are made of soft vinyl. I seem to recall Verlinden, and maybe even Warriors figures had sets of tank crews being photographed, but these are old sets and may take some effort locating them.

Thanks all... I have seen the Verlinden one (PK Photographer) on eBay as well as Hornet. Aside from locating the figure the question is which would have been the correct one for the setting. Looking at the pictures I imagine it would have been winter, what sort of uniform the photographer would have been wearing. Would the photographer have been an SS camerman. As well would the pictures we see today have been from a still picture camera or '8 mm' style movie recorder.

I have a model magazine from about 25+ years ago depicting that seen. The modeller might have been taken some artistic liberty. The figure he used was in a black uniform, holding a hand held recorder.
