Hello Chaps and Chapesses,
Heres my entry into the DHPC GB
I am going all out to try and produce a scratch Marine in 1/35 scale
Here`s the components
As you can see from my ever decreasing photography skills that I will be using some different materials to try and achieve this
Note!
Here`s where I may get told off for asking but the head is from my USMC Group build but I felt that the head was undersized to use on that figure so I am asking permission to use this head in this build, please.
Here`s the thread where i did the head
https://www.modelersalliance.com/forum/usmc/29343-andys-marine-
I have another head as you can see from the pics that is the same but I would only be doing it the similar for this build if you get what I mean.
I will go with whatever you guys decide.
Torso is a old Tamiya German figure that will have the details chopped off and be sanded right down to get a torso effect,.. the figure is very small in comparison to say a Dragon figure so it would be perfect
Legs are at the moment copper wire
Boots I have 2 choices of a Verlinden set or a whittled down set of jackboots from the good old spares box.
Dragon Tommy Gun
Resin hands but I cant remember who does them !
I have no water bottle right now as I cant find and bottle covers with the cross over flaps as used in the PTO
Anyone who has any info on the basic USMC grunt uniforms and equipment then please shout
I will be using Aves Epoxy sculpt to make the man
So there you go and wish me luck !
