Re: WAFFEN SS - MG 42 GUNNER...

Looks lovely, except for the barrel shield on the MG-42. Young Miniatures could have divided it diagonally instead of halfway through the vent openings. This will make it harder to clean up, fill seams, and keep the machined look.

Re: MG 42 GUNNER-PARKA´s EDGING - ...

So the styrene strip is like the hemline of the parka? I was wondering about that on the previous figure, nice touch!

Re: SS - GUNNER...20th JAN Update...PARKA´s EDGING..

Very cool seeing these step by step operations. A picture is worth a thousand words and you have some awesome pictures. I like how you get everything blended n. The bit your using, is it the diamond grit or the bur?

Re: SS - GUNNER...20th JAN Update...PARKA´s EDGING..

Outstanding Luiz, you're a man of many talents, two hands on the subject and still can get a great picture!

Not sure I follow the modification you did on the arm but the result is very nice!
 
Re: SS - GUNNER...20th JAN Update...PARKA´s EDGING..

Very nice Luiz...Shame the arm didn't fit right to start with. The sculpture looks beautiful otherwise.

Re: SS - GUNNER..24th JAN Update.Adjusting the Parka.

Dear MP and Tom...thanks for the nice words...

@ MP ... yes... I could put the putty straight into the gap ... but the connection between the arm and torso would be very weak ... so I decided to install a piece of styrene plastic into the gap before applying the putty...thanks for the observation..

Regards for both!

Re: SS - GUNNER...THE MG 42...

...to put the MG 42 over the shoulder was not an easy task ... several adjustments were done...mainly on the sling sections...
