Old trick

:woohoo: :eek:hmy: :blink that is unreal Luc :notworthy

I will give it a go one day soon, play with some old figures and Milliput, see how it turns out ....should have learnt these skills a LOT earlier :smack
 
Is it more difficult to sculpt the common wehrmacht uniform?
There is a lot of sculpts of the camo smock and baggy pants, but not so many of the feldgrau uniforms.
I can see that you have more volyme in the baggy clothes for adding details (folds etc.)
is there any other reasons? (more small details on the feldgrau?)
Thanks for a very nice SbS :good:

I suppose doing a uniform that is not baggy is more difficult. If it is a summer uniform, it would have to follow the shape of the body pretty tightly. well, tighter than a winter / baggy outfit.

Again, it's only my assumption :idonno
 
Hi Luc :)

Gave this a try and i'm busy with the first leg, used the Milliput i had at home.
Gonna go over and smooth it out some, but i think i got the wrinkles ok (for a first try at sculpting :))

Hello Mats,

this looks very promising. My tip: before going at the folds and wrinkles, I always try to get the basic shape of the clothing correct. I check my reference carefully. When I am satisfied with the basic shape, I start with the biggest folds and drapings.
From there on I go to the smallest wrinkles and details. That means careful planning. The clock starts ticking the moment the epoxy is mixed. I always take one part (leg, arm, front or back torso, etc) at a time.
I use Aves apoxy. When it starts to set, it is excellent for creating small details. This is my advice: When adding details like seams, wait until the putty is partially set.

It looks very good for a first sculpting. It just takes practice. I did dozens before getting good results.
And now I did over 400 figures and every once in a while, things end up in the waste bin.
Keep up the good work and keep posting these pics.

Luc
