Hello, dear visitors!

I'm happy to announce that my second Patreon release is now alive!

By joining during July, you will receive a set of models depending on the tier you chose:

Private – One model with G36

Corporal – Four models with G36 (one with MG3 option!) and extra torso with Panzerfaust 3

Sergeant – Four models with G36 or G3 (two with MG3 option!), two extra torsos with Panzerfaust 3 and additional set of four heads.

And if you are interested in background, I will describe them below a bit:

These models are intended to depict German mechanized infantry of 1999-2019 year.

To achieve this result, I've sculpted them wearing a distinctive gear of that period (like Splitterschutzweste flak vests and webbings of 1995-year-model, as well as Gefechtshelm M92 helmets with covers and Kampfstiefel 1977 boots) together with G36 standard-issue rifles, MG3 machine guns and Panzerfaust 3 anti-tank rockets.

Even through most of this equipment is phased out by more modern pieces, it is was still in use in some regiments for as long as 2019, giving these models almost 22 years of time window!

Sergeant-tier also comes with time-proven G3 battle rifle option (requested by one of my Patrons), enabling to use these models in period before G36 became widespread, expanding the window of use even more!

Hope you'll have as much fun printing, painting and gaming with them as I had sculpting them!

Cheers!
