Re: Close combat in the dessert
Better get started on this one, it will be a small scene of a close up battle in the dessert.
Started with these two guys (not sure what it is with girls :hmmm but Veerle liked this stage of the build....
)
Made a stretched sprue to reinforce the joint between the two fighters.
The fit of these figures are very nice and hardly no flash to clean up, i use the Tamiya displaycase and it is perfect because you can glue supports and things to the botton part (it will later be covered in sand)

Here is where i left of this evening

Re: Close combat in the dessert
Thanks guys! yes i feel the pain to, but it's war!
Here is what i manage to do today, i choosed the figures to use and glued them up, some small things left but that's for after painting (heads etc)
It's gonna be a busy little diorama but i like the action, now i just have to pick up some vallejo paint.

Re: Close combat in the dessert
Will be a very cool vignet Mats. I just noticed something though. The one German has a cam cover on his helmut, and I dont think I have ever seen any dessert troops wearing those. I could be very wrong though. Just thought I should mention it. Hand to hand sure is brutal and I think this shows that to good effect.

Re: Close combat in the dessert
Thanks for all the nice comments , and James you might be right, they have 2 options in the kit, with or without the cover.
Luckily the helmet is not glued yet so it's an easy fix
I like these sets of figures very much, the equipment fits well (always have trouble with dragons german ammo pouches)
Big Master Box for the nice kits you give us!

Re: Close combat in the dessert
Good results at the workbench today
I tried to add a little realism to the figures hairstyle (thin glue and then dabb a cotton bud over it)
Yes he looks like the professor from back to the future but after a haircut it looks better :fencing
Also made the sling for the pistol
Drilled small holes (0,5mm no idea how much that is in inches, sorry :idonno ) at he's neck, and glued the thread there with superglue.
And then the same at the other end.
Some close ups.
James, i found a new helmet for him in the scrap box.
Trying to figure out what paints to use, because the two boxes from Masterbox give two different paintnumbers!
It will be a mix of what looks good to the eye i guess (and what's on the shelf at the LHS)
Goodnight :Hiay
