Hunting the Red Bear

Please find this thread as my official entry in the Berlin group Build

I have a problem with my comp regarding pics and uploading so I wont start until I can get them on here.

Im going to do a figure roaming the streets in the area of Spittelmarkt around the 28th April which is around the time that area fell to the Russians, looking for a nice juicy tank to ruin !!

Of course the German infantryman is armed with a great big Panzerschrek

Dragon figure mostly OOB plus Hornet head but if I dont get good info on Army units around that area, I shall simply convert to SS 11th PzGrn Nordland who were there.

PS
As you may be able to see ( or not ) the Chest Eagle and Collar insignia has gone, just a quick conversion to make an SS dude of the 11th Pz Gren Div "Nordland" if I can find the correct collar patches I think I have them somewhere,...

Historical outline,

I`m going to portray him around the Spittelmarhk area of Berlin 28th April 1945
My brother used to live there until a few years ago I very interesting area with still tons of visable damage around to look at.
