Maj. Anders Lassen WIP´s

[Hugo Pereira]

Hello...

RPmodels have the pleasure to annouce some WIP´s of a Victory Cross, Maj. Anders Lassens...

This Major belong to SAS and he lead a raid, where he was wounded... A big MAN with courage and with a big duty responsability...

This is just some WIPS and there are many work to do... Once again, if you dont mind, I ask you help, advices, tips and information to do this bust... I want to do a big homenage to Maj. Lassen... So I want to do a excellent bust... This WIPS are from bust, but RPmodels will present the 75mm full figure and 1/35 full figure too...

Thank you.
With best regards
Hugo Pereira

Hello Mr. Stefan...

Thank you for your comment... Its true, but in RPmodels we alraedy think in production of 75mm and 1/35 scale... For example Blondie Hesler, Lord Lovat, TCol Vandervoort, they all will have this scales... The Goblin will have 100Bust and 75mm figure, but the rest of characters will have this scales... I hope you liked and we will try to a good job in that scales too...

Thank you.
With best regards
Hugo

Hi Hugo,

Looking good , coming along nicely , if I might suggest that the jacket is more open and loose , let it fall naturally exposing the shirt more.

I would suggest that the belt area is opened up as well showing more of the magazine pouch

From the pictures Lassen was not a parade ground soldier and ths should reflect in the sculpt ,

Will dig out some more stuff for you

Happy days

On the second picture the Thompson looks too small. Might be an optical illusion. Also, I think the length of the abdomen to the belt might be slightly too long. I think that is the case on a couple of your figures.

Otherwise looks great.

This looks great. Would definitely be interested in the full 75mm figure.

Ohh.. by the way,
Anders Lassen died 9. April 1945 - Denmark was occupied by German forces 9. April 1940.
On the 4th of May 1945 Germany capitulated to Allied forces

Loving your selection of subjects Hugo. Very interested to see how this develops.

The 75mm option will be great for thoughs of us that prefer full figures.

Hugo,

You may be interested to know a second VC was won in the same battle, Lake Comacchio, Italy.

By Cpl. Thomas Peck Hunter, 43 Commando RM.

This was the only VC awarded to a Royal Marine in WWII.

I agree with Colin's comments about the weapon and also the body length needs shortening

Looking forward to seeing more

Hello Mr. Ian

Thank you for your support... I think it will be very good... We are doing some tests in 75mm and 1/35, because in RPmodels we want a details models, with texturse, dinamic and accuracy... And we have to put the emotions too... Its a big responsability to do a good model because Maj. lassen was a great HERO and for all of you, that believe in RPmodels...

Thank you.

Hello Mr. Kevin...

I will do that... I will open a little the jacket for people can see a little of the ammunition cartridge... Maj. Lassen is a SAS, Im thinking put a binoculars... We are studing put some dog tags out, for we can put the name of the Maj. I know the dogs tags have to be inside, because of the noise and shape, but to do a distinguish honor, may be, we can put outside... What you think... And it will be great paint that... I think, but need opinions and ideas of all of you...

When you can, send me more information... With will be great... By the way, the Beret are more advance... With SAS Patch, with all textures... Its beautifull... In my opinionn of course...

Thank you.

Hugo
