working on the uniform, so brutal to see the photos :huh: you think it looks good and take a pic and then on the computer you see "hundreds" of misstakes!
well here is a little progress

And the second soldier for carrying the wounded is going to have some odd hat on instead of the standard helmet, have inspiration from Sven Hassel and the movie wheels of death (döden på larvfötter in swedish),and one of he's characters there, Josef Porta had a high hat on, also found this pic on the net :)

more to come :Hiay
 
Mats, I think you're right, looks like the brim should be wider and the top should be more narrow.

BTW, what type of helmet does that other bloke have on, don't think I ever seen that before, looks Russian.
 
excellent.....love the concept and the layout. Nice scratch work on the figures though i agree with MP on the hat.:)

I think it's a russian helmet they found and they have some fun with it, going to carve off the hat and see if i can save it otherwice i try again
 
Carved off the sides of the hat so it got the right shape, what you think?

BETTER!!!!(y)

By the way;in the BOOKS by Sven Hassel,Porta was a tanksoldier.

Looking forward to the next stage,Mats!


Greetings,Ron.
 
Thanks Ron :)
yes i know he was a tanker, but he was only inspiration for this (but i don't think i paint this hat yellow with stripes as he had!)
 
Nice carving! Git'er Done Mats!

Meant to check this out yesterday, I can't see photobucket when I'm at work and I sometimes forget to check back on my favorite threads.

Good job on the correction! having the top thinner make the brim look right.
 
thanks guy's for the nice comments :)
Have been on a nice weekend at the coast with my girlfriend, visited alot of nice places and today a very nice visit to raversijde, and the atlantikwall museum there.
Included was a also a visit to Domino, a big modelstore :) and i found some figures for the dio (will change the couple in the front that's holding eachother)
 
josef porta - yeah! way cool dude! love him!

German Deserter: "Where Are you going in such a hurry?"
Porta: "Valhalla!"

this is getting better and better ... keep the updates coming!
 
here is the new guy in progress, from the set german captives from MB (a very nice set)

Bought the german uniform paint set from lifecolor this weekend, and i ask myself how many different fieldgrey is there to choose from? and wich one is most correct?
I know the uniforms faded and was replaced with ones of other color (different manufacturer) but if you compare vallejo german uniform and tamiya field grey and now lifecolors fieldgrey 1 and 2 there is a huge difference!
I will be using all of these to get a variation in the uniforms i hope it will turn out good :unsure:
