HG in Sicily 1943

Thanks Von Luch.
I thought that I was really doing a SBS! ;-D

Hi Diego

Yes you are right, this is an SBS. What I was meaning to say was an in depth SBS, showing how the folds are made to the tools used. Something in depth, but this is wonderful, no complaints here! Thanks very much!

Fantastic work Diego.

 

[Diegoff]

Thanks Christos!

Some more pics:

These are the tools that I use more for sculpting.

The wire is cut al the lenght of the arm and bend at the elbow. The angle must be well defined.

When the rough hape of the arm is setled begin the next step.

Diego stunning work and a great SBS, in this instance was it a particular picture that inspired you, or do you decide the outcome as you're cnstructing it. Many thanks.

Cheers Ken

 

[Diegoff]

Thanks, Ken.
The idea is actually a combination of some photos, mainly from the rescue of Mussolini and others of the fighting with the italians troops after their armistice.
I found some curious pics of some prisioners of HG division wearing SS smocks and short trousers in Sicily.
