German Gebirgsjaeger

[ErGide72]

Hello Planteers,

Another projekt has come to an end. After an accident with some resin water (which should produce low heat... ) and after sitting on my shelf (with no legs...) for 2 (or was it 3) years I decided to restore it and give it a go!

Figure is a conversion of different (mostly Dragon) parts and a Hornet Gebirgsjaeger head.
Bicycle from Tamiya with Aber PE (if you want to do something fiddly I recommend this kit...) all 1/35th scale.

Painted with acrylics

Edelweiss emblem with selfmade decal and a paintbrush...

A small trout trying to get out of here.

Natural envoirment

Hope you like it

Cheers
Erik

edit: don't forget to look at FOTM

Thanks guys!

@Jon;

Yes, the figure was made long before I found myself confident with MagicSculp so had to do a lot of trial. Would do it different nowadays ie sculpting those arms...

Excellent great job

Very nice scene you have handled the water effect really well . I think it's wonderful when modellers use a photograph as inspiration and transform it into a miniature scene like yours

Excellent modelling all round, Eric. This looks like a very tricky project, not easy in any way. Very well done mate.

 

[ErGide72]

Thanks again guys!!

@chippy; Yes, photo's are always a good Inspiration! Also, small Scenes like these to improve your dio/Vignette skills.

Cheers
Erik
