Beautifuly cast 120mm WWI Stormtrooper
Nice! A WIP, or just pictures when finished?
Happy to do a work in progress. Hadn’t thought about it till you asked Knox.
I’d love to see any more work you do on him too Dodgy.
Aha! Definitely would like to see a WIP on him!
No problem Gamera and Tanker-Builder. Will do. Lot of medical stuff going on at the moment so things have slowed down.
Hey;
Understand this. Your health is more important as is that of family members. We can wait.
Thanks cobber, all good now. Loading a report next.
OK, some basic construction, and lots of filling required.
The two bags across his chest are for grenades and are going to require some work to fit them in to the molded parts.
There are two heads provided with this figure. One is supposed to look young and lost with the thousand yard stare, but the eyeballs are hollow. the other is older with a nice mo. Not sure which one I will do.
Following along. I was really into figures a while back and perfer this scale. I’ve done a couple WWI figures. One of the things I really like about figure modeling is there is a much broader array of kits covering way more history. I did a civil war figure, two Zulu war figures etc. I’ve been working on a b-17 waist gunner for the past 5 years…lol
Anyhow - nice figure and I’m looking foward to your progress.
That looks good. You can fix some seams like that if you use a little putty in the gap and then while it’s still semi-wet wipe it with some thinner (whatever dissolves it) with a cotton bud.
And both heads look good, I’m partial to the one with the 'stash myself.
Thanks Keavdog. I’ll be doing some more on him on the weekend as its supposed to be very wet here, and I totally agree with your comment on the spread of history that figures cover. As for your B17 waist gunner, you can’t rush these things…
Thanks Gamera. I’ve recently discovered Perfect Plastic Putty and I looove it. However where the grenade bags meet their molded on parts is going to be a challenge, as I will have to work around some belts and cross straps.
With regard to the heads, I am also partial to the one with the mo. It suits the era.
Nice work and looking forward to seeing more. In regards to the heads I prefer the mustache.
Thanks GreySnake. I think its going to be the mo. It has a lot more character.
Looking good. I like both faces, so will be no help. Its strange that just a face swap will change the personality of the figure so much.
Well, Well! Personally I prefer the stache.
Why? Looks like mine when we had a shipwide contest for the biggest baddest and longest stache. The prize? Weekend liberty! In Hong Kong! That sure was a nice weekend!
