Broin Bearsonn (75mm) from Scale75

A very nice dwarf from the manufacturer Scale75.
There are 7 parts included-two for the torso, left and right arms with axe and sword respectively, one shield, a tarp or blanket and small resin base.
Casting of the parts is very clean and sharp, with only minor cleaning needed here and there.

Trumpeter/Master tools Single blade nipper

As I needed new and better cutters, I decided to try this single blade nippers from Trumpeter. There are other more expensive options, but those nippers works just fine.
Below picture: on the left ordinary cutters from tamiya, left those from Trumpeter-very clean and sharp cut.

NCO 1st Fallschirmjager Div Italy, 1/35

An excellent figure from Alpine miniatures, one of the newest offerings. Superb detail and casting, represents a NCO from 1st parachute division in Italy with tropical uniform-tropical pants and jump smock, either in Fieldgrau or Splittermuster/Splinter camo. I want to try the latter. Also choice from two type heads with helmets-standard and with cover.
