Hi Planeteers,
Here's some progress shots of the dio I'm currently working on. It's from the famous photograph taken by Robert Capa in Notre Dame de Cenilly, 30th July 1944 (copyright Cornell Capa).
The photo shows Untersturmfuhrer Peters of III/SS.Pz.Gren.Regt.37, SS.Pz.Div.17 'Gotz von Berlichingen' being searched by Lt. Paul Unger of the Military Police company, 2nd Armored Division 'Hell on Wheels'. In the background a line of Wehrmacht, Luftwaffe and SS prisoners (but the five I'm modeling are all Wehrmacht).
The plan is to model the facade of the haberdashery shop as well, up to roof level. I'm traveling to Normandy in the summer, so will take the measurements then. I'm guessing the facade will be about 40-50cm high. I'm hoping to laser cut and etch the building, but might have to resort to putty for the stonework.
I'm currently working on the figure of Unger, and when he's up to the level of the others I'll start on the hands........all 14 of them! All insignia will be from photoetch.
Cheers,
Jon.
