Prepping figures

[JRutman]

Got the eating guy done but now under magnification I see the eyes got squirrely when I added the clear satin.

 

 

 

 

 

  I tried to show the late war uniforms various colors. They were made in different factories and the colors varied. Late in the war the colors took a more brownish tone as they used ground up soviet uniforms to mix in with the other wool,showing a more brown tint. I used to own one of those.

Hello Jerrry,

 

Well you know names are just letters thrown out in different ways in different countrys (many times meaning the same thing in different langauges).

 

Keep up the good work .

 

Cheers

Two more done. This brings up the body count in this dio to 20 so far.  I may get the hang of this thing before it's done.

 

  The guy is a Miniart fig right from the box,no mods. I just painted him like a Luftwaffe swabby instead of a Wehrmacht tanker which is what he was kitted for. Only need to change the colors from field grey to field blue ! The lady was a fairly extensive mod.  Masterbox fig from the French Resistance set. She was re-posed and then given some big boy pants and a putty sweater over the shoulder. I was going for the feel of the "lost girl" from the famous video sequence of Germans surrendering to the US Army in middle Europe in 1945.

  Please have a look,

 

I always exclude pics from the rear view so here goes. Fuzzy though.

 

 

Not bad for OOTB fig !

 

Here is how she began

Some how I like your civilians more than military men, do not  know why . . . and the feel of the "lost girl" is 100%

Awesome work as always

Chavdar and Bois,

  Thanks again for checking in and for the nice comments guys,whatevr you want to know,just ask buddy. I have no secrets.  Who does these days ?  LoL

Here are the next two truck riders. The bending guy is Miniart with a small arm re-pose and the other is stock Tamiya,same thing with him although they have both been undercut a lot.

 

Masterbox guy. I have changed some colors I use for the flesh areas and am more satisfied now with that.

 

 

 

Tamiya guy. He looks great and has a nice pose and the face is quite good I think,for plastic.

 

 

  Their place in the universe.

 

 

  Thanks guys,

J
