German Infantry in Watchmantel
Posted by Bodge on Wednesday, November 25, 2009 12:12 PM

Hi guys , i just bouht these little guys and put them together the same night i purchased them. They went together without too much trouble and on the whole looked really good, i even kept the original heads rather than put hornet ones on but the fur on the coats didnt seem to be rough enough so i re texstured the fur on all coats . This i done with applying liquid glue to the areas and when nearly dry i stippled with a cut down stiff brush then i teased it out with a sharp pointed needle. Who knows i may even get round to painting these guys soon?

Lookin' good, Bodge... Got an Ostfront dio planned or are these chaps just for fun & "Maybe someday"?

Too bad they didn't mold one with the straw boot-covers... The size of those things lent new meaning to the phrase, "Standing" guard...

Nice start, Bodge!

How frustrating/irritating was it that there is a seam line right around the sides and front of the binoculars?  Big Smile [:D]

I like your technique for texturing the fur, it came out nicely.

Looking forward to more progress shots!

Regards,
