Maj. Herbert'Blondie' Hasler

[Hugo Pereira]

Hello...

I just let you some WIPs of Maj 'Blondie' Hasler...

In this moment we are improve the face with a little bear because in the operation they pass some days without shaving...

The canoe is ready, and we are modeling the partner of the major... So in a few days I will present you the full canoe with the two characters in 75mm and 1/35 scale...

We try to put in the face some expression of effort, because he was paddling in a strong sea... In this figure, like Goblin, we improve the face textures... and this is the result...

Thank you and once again, has usally, comments, opinions, ideas and critics are welcome...

Thank you.
With best regards
Hugo Pereira

Hugo ,

That looks great a face full of determination and guts heading for the final operation ....looking forward to seeing the unshaven face update ...he has been in the canoe for longer than he wishes I am sure ..and no shaving mirror LOL

Like the textures again on the headwear and the scarf .....

I certainly see the suit having water droplets on it as well as the paddles ...

Looking forward to seeing more

Really brilliant and can´t wait to see the 1/35 scale variant "printed". It´s funny to see this Figure because i had seen an Television documentary about him and Operation Frankton. Very interesing and an very unique Soldier for sure.
Looks really lovely and if the Level of Detail will also be captured in 1/35 scale together with the canoe it is on my Shopping list for sure . Also an "bust" type Figure would be very cool. Cut the Figure to the waist with the paddle in both hands like on your photos and you will have an brilliant bust too. Just my two Cents.

Thanks for shareing Hugo, great work.

Hello Mr. Stefan...

Thank you for your sympathic words... I will do a great job... And besides that, you will have avaialable just the canoes, so, if you want you can use them in a diorama or another thing... I think the 1/35 scale full canoe with the two characters will be great...

To tell you the true I saw a documentary too, and when I saw this history I had the tought to this GREAT man... And this operation is amazing too... Because of this operation Hitler send a message when British Commandos are caughted they had to be immeditaly kill...

This is a GREAT STORY...

Thank you.

Hi Hugo.

Hope it's not to late but the combined operations patch on the left arm is facing the wrong way. The eagle for the airforce & machine gun for the army should face forward. Hope you can correct it as it's an important detail. Also the badges of Royal marine and combined ops should be on the right arm as well,again facing forwards.

Other than that the figure looks brilliant and is on my shopping list.

Peter.

Oooooh Hugo a lots of bite from me ....good job I still have my looks ...but no teeth...LOL LOL

Great news that the changes will happen , I have also seen the Royal Marines flash with an S on the end as well in Marines .

This will be a spectacular piece especially as a duo for the 75mm ..for me I am making space in my cabinet for Blondie ..the bust !!

As always my friend you know where I am !!

Hi Hugo.

Thanks for making the changes. This will help make this figure simply stunning. Your figures keep getting better. The textures on the knit wear & face are outstanding. And to think I once described 3D rendered figures as souless,Lol. And then along came Hugo.

Put me down for the 75mm version with Marine Sparks as well. I will be nattering Steve of SK.

Peter.

Hello Peter...

Im happy because I allow the change of opinion... sometimes I feel a little worried, because people buy bad 3d pieces, when you can see all layers, and the final product is very poor... And people can think RPmodels are the same... I will try ever, to should people our models are equal to renders and videos... This allow people believe in RPmodels, and we will strong in the future...

Thank you for you rhelp, and please, feel free to do always comments and give us ideas and tips...

Big ugg and take care
Hugo

If you can translate these photo realistic facial features into resin, then you have my utmost admiration...
I'm of course please to read that the figure will also be released as a full figure in my favourite 75mm scale.
