WWI Saxon Stormtrooper & German MG Carts

Jon Smith Modellbau announced their remodeled WWI figure and some really interesting machine gun carts.

German figure painter Günther Sternberg has painted up the re-modelled 1/32nd Stormtrooper, Saxon Divisional Assault Company, Western Front 1917. Instead of using one of the two heads supplied in this kit, Günther has chosen one of the spare single German Heads with Steel Helmet (article No. SH44). I believe one can appreciate the quality of the painting, which is not surprising if one has seen Günther’s work before.

These simple wooden MG transport carts first appeared during the mid-war period (1916 onwards) and were used predominantly to transport the lighter of the German machine guns, the MG 08/15. Other uses of the cart included the transport of the heavier German MG 08, the Mauser 13mm Anti-Tank Rifle, general supplies, incl. ammunition or even the carrying of wounded personnel away from the immediate front-line areas (the rear MG support being used as a backrest for a sitting person, with legs each side of the second and front MG support).
