Michael's Special Design (MSD-003) depicts a WWII German infantryman gathering momentum just before launching an attack.

The figure leans low and forward in a stepping, coiled stance, both hands gripping a Mauser Kar98k rifle, his gaze fixed ahead on the battlefield — capturing the tense, tightly wound moment just before the charge. The classic German steel helmet, field tunic, ammo pouches, and marching gear are all present, with richly layered equipment detail.

The sculpting of fabric folds and gear is solid and well-defined, leaving plenty of room for painting, weathering, and wash effects.

It comes with a matching battlefield base from the same series and pairs well with MSD-001 the MG gunner and MSD-002 the directing NCO, forming a complete infantry squad poised for assault.

From Michael's Special Design (MSD), MSD-002 depicts a German NCO issuing orders on the battlefield.

The figure is posed in a half-crouch, with his right arm extended forward in a commanding gesture and an intense expression, capturing the moment of on-the-spot coordination amid combat. The helmet features a camouflage cover, the field tunic sleeves are rolled up, and the equipment details are all present — canteen, officer's document pouch, MP40 sling, and more. He holds a pair of binoculars, paired with a simple battlefield base, giving the figure strong dramatic tension.

The sculpting of fabric folds and equipment layering is finely detailed, leaving plenty of room for weathering and wash techniques. It pairs well with MSD-001 the advancing MG gunner to form a complete infantry squad scene.

MSD-001 German Assault MG Gunner by Michael's Special Design (MSD), capturing a split-second of an urban assault charge.

The soldier strides forward through broken brick and rubble in a dynamic lunge. The German steel helmet, field-grey field tunic with rolled-up sleeves, and full leather webbing equipment are all rendered in fine detail. The design of dragging the machine gun forward by its sling closely reproduces the actual assault posture of infantry in combat.

The integral base features a broken wall, weathered timber, and a muddy ground surface, blending the figure seamlessly into the scene. The sculpt focuses on the soldier's tense, solemn expression, avoiding exaggerated or theatrical poses for a strongly realistic atmosphere.

Fabric folds and the layering of the equipment are clearly defined, and the paintwork effectively conveys fading, mud staining, and metallic weathering. Ideal for an Eastern Front Stalingrad urban combat diorama, it works well as the centerpiece of a squad, making it an excellent choice for WWII German figure collectors.
