Caesar Panzergrenadier II

Panzergrenadiers I & II from Caesar Miniatures in 1/72nd scale soft plastic. Actually, if you look carefully, there are FOUR grenade poses.



Panzergrenadier set II, walking soldier. I like this pose a lot, useful for guarding, moving, watching.


Machine pistol soldier, set II. Keep the muzzle low, fire in short bursts, lean forward a bit.


Toss that grenade over an Imex log. I am not super happy with the prone grenade pose, but with three standing poses, I can live with one prone one.

Caesar Panzergrenadiers II


Running soldier with machine pistol.

Standing rifleman. An excellent pose, he actually looks like he is firing the rifle.


Kneeling firing an assault rifle. This is an excellent figure, I really like the post. Caesar has done a great job with him.


Panzerschreck, an important weapon in the fight against Soviet t-34s. Very well done.




This guy is actually prone, throwing the stick grenade from a prone position is an upclose and personal close quarters combat. Caesar Miniatures 1/72nd scale soft plastic figures, Panzergrenadiers set. More photos soon.

Caesar Panzergrenadiers II


Caesar Miniatures new Panzergrenadiers II is in stores just now. They are one part 1/72nd scale soft plastic figures and are as fantastic as all the other Caesar sets have been. This kneeling soldier is one of these new troops.

This soldier is placing a magnetic mine on the side of a tank.


Soldiers had to be very brave to get this close to stop a tank. This is why you fire your machine guns at tanks. Kill off the infantry riding the tanks. Force the tank crews to button up the hatches.


Another anti-tank weapon wielding soldier.


This soldier is throwing a grenade and holding a machine pistol. It is a similar pose to Panzergrenadiers I, but that figure had a rifle. This set is great and complements the Panzergrenadiers I set very well. More photos over the next few days.

Tiger



This old, tired Tiger II was an easy model to build.


Compared to this Stug III / IV. Roco Stug III with Panzer IV roadwheels.


The Roco Panzer III and Stug III kits sometimes have had poorly cast roadwheels. So, rather than toss them out, I took a tires worn out Panzer IV and used the roadwheels on the Stug.



1/72nd scale troops with the 1/87th scale Roco Tiger II.
