Taking a Break

Taking a Break, U.S. GI with BAR, WWII

Model: BBA118
Scale: 1/30
Finish: Matte

This finely crafted 1/30 scale WWII miniature depicts a U.S. infantryman taking a brief moment of rest amid the bitter winter fighting of the Battle of the Bulge. Bundled in his long wool greatcoat and snow-covered combat boots, the GI stands at ease with his M1918 Browning Automatic Rifle at his side — the iconic automatic weapon carried by American infantry from WWI through Vietnam.

Introduced in 1918, the BAR delivered sustained, accurate fire and became a critical component of U.S. infantry squads during World War II. This figure reflects the exhaustion and resolve of American soldiers who fought through freezing conditions, surprise attacks, and relentless pressure during Germany’s final major offensive in the West.

Painted in a realistic matte winter finish with historically accurate gear and weapon details, this figure is ideal for recreating Ardennes front-line scenes, guard positions, or quiet moments between the chaos of battle.
