Interesting - any details, back-story?

You are right, it was dry.

Scale is 1/35, it was done from an Italeri German Paratrooper.

I assume he wears an uniform intended for toxic environments. But... what about googles?
Well, he should wear them... but... this time he was in a demo.

In those chemical devices, some reactions take place to produce oxigen and some gaseous
antidotes against nervous agents. I assume you know about these issues.  

The weapon: When I was young, cretacic era, I saw, in a book my brother had, a hand machine
gun with two barrels and two magazines, one each. I think it was an italian weapon from the
end of WWI, but I have to confess that I have not seen it since then.

Wicked!

It looks like one of the Venom soldiers from Return to Castle Wolfenstein!

Good call Ollie - there's some quality whiff material in that game.  I never did get round to taking screenies of all the German secret planes in the hangars  :dum:

Correct - the gun was particularly used by the "Assault troops"

Wow I really like this figure! Looks like he should be in the cast of that 1936 blockbuster "Things to Come".
