~ U.S. Armored Infantry for my 1/35th scale E.T.O.~

  Never heard about this maker Corpus... I just realized that Verlinden figures are bigger than other makers so I have to try other makers if I want to mix 'em. 

that's a cool fig!! look forward to see the painting!

Richard~ right on good Sir-- I think he will work with some converting(more on that later)

This figgy looks interesting. The unbuckled boot are definitaly different.

Can't wait to see this one as part of the group you have there.

(By the way, your Afrika Korps Zundapp made the online reader gallery).

Cool Jet---Thanks I happened to click the Homepage and saw it the other day---then got the newsletter with my BMW as headliner and posterchild for the Forum! a cool honor huh?       Thanks again to the Editors

Andy~The Corpus line is not large-

-you can see it here    http://www.coloradominiatures.com/search.aspx?manufacturer=73

some neat figures you've seen Bodge paint              As for Verlinden--they are known to vary alot--Many figures in thier line made over a good number of years during plenty of change. I've had good luck getting compatable figures from them that fit with most other 1/35, but not always---same with Warriors--lots of size variation-some far too big. One big plus to Verlinden is alot of  figures in action doing different stuff--->as awesome as Alpine figures are they are usually just standing there(maybe pointing and talking) Tank seems to be the best of both worlds--perfectly sized and formed--plenty of different poses(only drawback--German/Russian only_)

~Jim~ Yeah huh/? I will be back with that--

Hey buddy!

Hope you are doing good out there.  Just thought about your GI figures you have been working on because it was a pleasure following your work.

Hi Andy!

Thanks for thinkin of me. Had plenty going on and in the meantime put the U.S Forces on hold and started on  another Dio set on the Eastern Front ( Due to some other obligations and a really excellent rare resin 20t Russian Railcar kit a friend gave me. More about that soon.)

Back at the ranch...........I Haven't done anything more with that Corpus figure. I have bought a number of less common OOP American army figures that I'll be working on when I get back to this thread--including.......

You may have seen this figure used well in a few Dios--I think I may do some conversion work for something a bit different--anyway the BAR is garbage so exactly OOB isn't going to happen anyways

The head is kinda so-so too----but the main part is very good

I thought is was funny the BAR wasn't even OK for the boxart shot! The modeler chopped the deformed barrel to try to make the gangster assault custom--anyone ever find a reference for one of these in G.I.'s hands??

~Another old OOP figure I got was this one from Warriors

 This figure is great!  Accurate Garand for once-nice hands---head looks good....

Only downside is it's the same figure as the Custom Dioramics figure already seen in this blog! At least the torso and and lower body are

Here he is, I think it's actually a better figure than the one I already painted--but both poses are good---but maybe not for the same scene----actually I have several more pretty cool U.S. figures to post --so likely its going to be more than one Dio's worth---I may even straighten out some of the groupings of different uniforms by way of that.               See ya later

Adam's back to working on his GI's. Your right about the two figures looking the same. They might be sculpted by the same person.

This is the best picture I could find of a soldier holding a BAR. Hope it helps.

Hey Indy- yeah those Warriors sure are some re-hashers. And that Nemrod B.A.R. is just crap, I have the same figure, have the same complaint. In fact, the more I open my Nemrod kits, the less impressed I am. CORRECTION: the more P.O.'d I am, considering the MSRP I've paid for some of them. One of the other figs looks to be molded with a BABY"S FOOT. He was a good pose for the 442nd scene but, in a momentary hissy-fit, I tossed him back in the box and shelved him.

Looking forward to seeing this all come together.

~Jet~ Nah, not really---working on other stuff---stay tuned

Steve~ Right--sorry to be non responsive here ) But--yeah it's nice to lean into the better made resin castings--I'll be getting back to this but not presently..........
