Fallschirmjager 25mm - First Attempt

[DeB]

Hi to all,
I'm not a regular poster, my name is Marco, from Italy.
I made some attempts in Fantasy (75mm) branch but I started to di 25mm Fallschirmjager about a week ago.

This is the result:

I used Milliput some Italeri pieces like feet and hands. The helmet is modified Preiser.

Advices and critics are welcome! I want to learn!

Thanks a lot!
Bye bye!

Marco, I like the pose of your figure. You have got the size and bulk of the jump smock well.

Try rubbing down the lower edge of the smock more, and blend the trousers into the boot section.

Have a look at some other WW2 25mm figures to give you an idea of where creases in the arms of the jacket should be.

A good start, keep going.

Hi Robert!
Thank you for the answer! Every comment is precious when starting!

The trousers are blended now, and I have made some modification to the face and the arms.

I haven't understood about rubbing down the smock... I have to make it shorter or smoother?

Thank you!
Bye bye!

Marco, sorry, I meant smoother, not shorter. It would be good to see your modifications.

Ah ok, yes I have made some mods!

I started paint it in this moment! Tonight I will post some new photos!!!

Thank yoU!!!

I have started paint it, but as you can see it's not so bad the finish of the putty! (Lucky lucky)

Here are the photos:

Marco, the legs look much better now, it's beginning to paint up well.

I'm happy to see that the mods are visible!

I'm gonna paint it with the dry brush technic...

Stay tuned!
Bye bye!
