When Humanwave Figures introduced their “Walenty Pokidanski” figure back in 2007(?), I was super excited. I figured I could buy a couple of the figures, keep one as is, and use the other to do a custom 1939 infantryman and or officer. I had a few done that turned out so-so, as I was young, impatient, and didn’t have much talent except to take one uniform off a figure and put it on another. Over the last several months I started tinkering and trying to take my time with this project to really make it look good, and I think once I’m actually finished with it I can proudly display it. The figure is a DID Vasili Zaire’s/Jude Law head sculpt. Uniform is a slightly altered humanwave, with DID leg wraps and ankle boots. Helmet is a DML m1 helmet I added sand to some paint to give it the textured finish, breadbag is a heavily modified battlegear toys, gas mask bag is modified DML, and the gas mask canister is sideshow. The shovel, mess kit, and long rifle I cannot remember. Still need to finish off the helmet with a liner and chinstrap, then it’s time to work on a knapsack. Still trying to decide if I want to attempt to build the model 1933, or something earlier. In a few pictures you’ll see the 1:6 scale item next to their full sized counterparts.
