I got the leaves from "Antenocit's Workshop" a fantastic source for basing materials:

"Aufklarer" means military intelligence, so "Recon Team" would be a rough translation. I'm sure one of our German friends will put me right if I've messed up my translation again!!!

In most cases Aufklarer (german: Aufklärer) means scout or spotter. Recon team would be a reasonable name.

Another great mini mate, Cammo looks great now the varnish is on. Can't wait to see the next batch. Your output tires me out.

Cheers

The AT team are Artizan Designs conversions ( German Winter AT Team). the panzerfausts are part of the mini.

If you are looking for separate weapons I bought some from Bolt Action Miniatures. They are a little thinner but look very good with most 28mm minis. Unfortunately they are currently out of stock.

You could also try The Assault Group:

I haven't got any of their stuff yet but I'm looking at their modern soviet weapons ( Sniper Rifles specifically) for some Weird War conversions.

I have some of Assault Group's modern Soviet/Vietnam weapons. They are chunky and overscale (they size in perfectly with my 1/48 scale HLBS modern Africans and Balkans troops). The sniper rifles are nice castings, about 31mm long.

For my WWW2 project I have found that by combining Assault Group's RPD machine gun (removing the barrel forward of the magazine) with the front half of their AK47 I will be able to make guns that look and scale in perfectly with my Copplestone Soviets, thus giving me lots of potential for converting figures from other ranges.

Most excellent. You managed to take some stock figures and turned them into something unique and wonderful with a few small mods to maximal effect.

We can all retire our brushes now.
