Airfix WWII German Mountain troops

Not a bad little set with some usefull poses which could be used in combination with other sets.
 I liked the idea of the blue frame...it is after all a mountain bike:-) How he manges to ride it without any spokes is beyond me!

"Come on Willi, throw the dam thing!! It´s bloody freezing!"
"On the Piste" 
Obviously the snow is so hard it needs breaking up with a pickaxe!!



Snow made using Shaving foam.

  6. Hi Paul,

    The mighty gebirgsjägers look great! I love the little details like the edelweiss on their cap! The mountain scene and the backgroud really set the mood! I also like the fact you painted the bike in blue rather than army issued green, it stands out and probably taken from the nearby village. You really make those outdated old Airfix look amazing.
