simply called Balin i picked up this little sci-fi bust at the recent model show in perth scotland.

so far i have cleaned him up and i'll be sorting out colours and other items soon.... comes in a plain black box with no artwork on the fron so i guess i have a free hand with this nazi zombie solder.

i have so far painted the helmet (although details such as "SS" insignia have still to be done) but basic shading has been completed as well as additional work on the goggles.

Gotta admit I expected a dwarf from LOTR when opening this htread, but this is even better!

Very nice attention to detail and you picked great colors for this. Very nice indeed!
