ClumsyDude Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 Somehow, Jerry, you just keep the amazing work coming. The realism and attitude in the first few photos were amazing, but the two drunk guys just rock my world - and they aren't even painted yet! What an inspiration you are - bravo!

JRutman Posted January 13, 2017 Author Share Posted January 13, 2017 Threads like this that makes me so happy I joined this forum. Superb stuff and I have learned so much. Been out of modelling for close on 35 years and just recently started again, The scenery has changed a LOT and so much to learn. Back in the day if someone told me get some weathering powder, I would have looked at them if they are nuts. Thanks Gerhard,it is very rewarding for me to know I may have helped in any small way and I am happy to see you modeling again brother ! J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Troy Molitor Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 Holy smokes! That goat is simply awesome. Well, to be honest, everything looks awesome Jerry. The despair on the womans face at the end of the wagon is fantastically portrayed. Love your work Jerry. Can you give us a larger "total" layout to see what your ultimate goal is? I think you need half a dozen sparrows on the ground somewhere picking at next to nothing at all. You obviously have all the time on your side. Humor! Thanks for the update.

JRutman Posted January 14, 2017 Author Share Posted January 14, 2017 Even the hangover would be better than a Russian POW camp ... Kev,Troy and th Dude ! Thanks a bunch guys for the great comments as always. Yes,some of those poor sods didn't get back to Germany for 10 years after the war ! Konrad Adenauer made it a diplomatic priority and got most of them released. J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRutman Posted January 14, 2017 Author Share Posted January 14, 2017 Jerry, Your figures are EXQUISITE . I always look at youryour figures even the animals and find that you capture every nuances of their caricatures and characteristics. The sadness , the sorow and despair is depicted quite realistically ... every furrowed brows, the wry smile, the glanced shown just like one sees in a real person. the animals are superbly done. their stance etc caught perfectly. Even the inanimate objects exude quality of your work. The two soldiers are going to look drunk and definitely" sloshed " once the paint goes on: and you work your magic on it. Jerry THANK YOU for such wondrous build. I await with anticipation at the end result. Thanks M I always appreciate your very thoughtful comments, J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JRutman Posted January 16, 2017 Author Share Posted January 16, 2017 Got some work done on the drunk guys. Here is what I started with after cobbling three figs together and then removing all I didn't need. And now,after the third application of putty. Mainly the hands and hair areas. Die zwei pesoffen landser. Still to be done is smoothing out some rough areas. This is why I shoot some primer on and then take these cringworthy enlargement pics. So I can easily see the flaws. The shoulder straps were made with lead foil and all the buttons were from a generic PE set for German figs. BGB and Shawn M 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BGB Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 Hello Jerry, Fantastic I wish that I was drunk like that but probably wouldn't look nice like those guys! Cheers Boris JRutman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
