Default German soldier in US service

A former member of the Bundeswehr, now in service with the 5th Inf.Div.

This mini was really fun. Armed with a AKM and outfitted with PASGT vest, he still wears his original uniform in flecktarn. The big pouch fixed to his left leg is the only way, this guy can transport the mags for his rifle.
In the pictures you can see, how I envision the markings of individuals: Division emblem on the left shoulder, NORTHAG emblem on the right.
The soldier has camouflaged his German steel helmet with grass and twigs (Hemp and parts of an old shaving brush IRL!). The lower pouch on his back had been issued to a British soldier, when the war started - a nice opportunity to paint British DPM. Some of the pouches are American issue, but part of them is really old, the MLBE canteen cover, for example.
