JeffC Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 I just checked and it was not removed. It was only posted at Plasticpics and not on the discussion. J Boy do I feel stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRutman Posted January 25, 2012 Author Share Posted January 25, 2012 Boy do I feel stupid. No worries buddy. I wanted to post a pic with some primer on the PE so you could see the web gear better. The folding e-tool is a gem but I don't think it will fit into my plans here. The weapon slings included in this set are awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panzerwomble Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 Not intended as criticism in any way , however your kneeling NCO would more likely have his water bottle attached to one side on top of the bread bag rather than on the belt according to HDV. It would more likely be on his belt if he didn't have a bread bag . I'm not saying it's wrong , just not the way WH webbing is usual fitted together . Lovely pair of figures and the your work on folding E tool is a treat . These figures are far more interesting than one in action IMHO . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't tell from the pic but the water bottle is attached to the bread bag. The clip you see in the pic is the right hand side attachment clip for the breadbag. Nice attention to detail you have to notice though. I used to own an entire set of German web gear so I remember how it all goes. Thanks for commenting. That means someone is looking in!

Guest Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Just WOW Jerry. The hair is amazing! Oh yea, the rest of it is great too.......Harv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loic Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Jerry, this is awsome ! The hair are just amazing, how did you do that ?! Also, I love the fact that your paintwork does match the different pieces of clothes composing the battle dress and trousers: different color each side of the stitching line Trully inspiring figure work here my friend!

Out2gtcha Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Great stuff.................You should jot down a figure painting tutorial...........In sure we ALL could benefit. I know I dont add figures only based on the fact that I dont think I could do them this kind of justice. Thanks for sharin Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaffyMan Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Love this some fantastic character work - I also would love to know how you did the hair Looking forward to the next step Happy days - Taff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRutman Posted January 30, 2012 Author Share Posted January 30, 2012 Thanks all,for looking in and for the words of encouragment. The hair is done with epoxy putty,painted with oils and then cotton is added from a swab and also painted with oil. I have been doing this since the 80s when I used to make Civil War figures with beards,etc. You can also use straight pieces of animal hair from "tall grass" dio products,then paint to match. I saw a guy in Japan recently used that method when he did a dio using a MB checkpoint kit. He paints using an electronic microscope and his figures look hauntingly real.
