Dear planeteers!
Allow me a little preview of my next figure project- because since today I have together everyt parts I need!
I'll make a Russian soldier of the 11th East Siberian Rifle Regiment at the time of the Russo-Japanese War in 1904!
Base will besthis nice 1/9 bust by "Model Cellar"....:
The package has arrived - and when you open the box, you'll see that on here:
Fortunately, the shield of the "furaschla"-cap is not casted on, but attached as a small part, so I - can make the old unshielded cap that was worn by the Russian troops at the beginning of the war. On the next picture that is clearly visible at the marching troop behind the musicians...:
And like in the picture, I will represent the bust then in the usual white summer uniform - in addition to the face certainly a challenge, but I want to see how I get along with oil at "large" and faces with white tones.
This time I'll use the enclosed base, because the monogram located on the base of the Tsar Nicholas II. Is a very nice gimmick.
But that it is not just about painting but also about model building, I'll miss the boy nor a gun,
as he stood "rifle at feet" - similar to this picture ...:
For this I have got by "Reedees" (thanks again, Steve!!!) a scale-matching carabiner 98 K from Resin...:
Because I'll need only the lower parts, the conversion in a Mosin-Nagant carbine model 1891 (this weapon helped the Russians in the Russo-Japanese war!) without much difficulty should be possible. ..:
These parts I will converse ...:
The Russian triangular bayonet model 1881, which was mounted at the time straight at the gun, I'm going to - from whatever - sculpt myself ...:
I will start in autumn, because I still hope to have a few days to drive in vintage car...
Cheers from Germany!
