Completed Original Gebirgsjager Officer. Creta 1941

[SUPER ANTO]

Hi PF friends!!!....

After a time with not to show none of my works I want to share this little guy, again, sculpted only for fun and between work and work.

Modelled at 70 mm (my favorite scale!) using Epofer clay and depicting a german 5th Division Gebirgsjäger captain during the Cretan invasion at 1941.
I love the uniforms mixes used in hot climates and during this battle the german mountain troops used tropical shorts with the wool coat and cap.

I hope like the figure and any criticism will be welcome for future works. Sorry so much for so bads photographs....

If anyone is interested in to purchase this master figure, it's available at an economic price. I ship worldwide! Thanks!

Excellent sculpt....

Very well done.

Very good work!

But you should change two details:

The collar ends are way too short - when the collar was closed, the ends had to touch.

And the shorts were significantly longer and also wider! If the man wears it as short as your figure, then you should be able to see that the bottom end is turned inside out.

Much apreciated your comments and graphic aportation!

I can to rework shorts using these great photos. I used as reference a plate from Warrior title, 'Gebirsjager'.
About the coat's neck, it's open, not closed, maybe the poor quality of the photos is the problem, in hand this detail is clear.

Thanks again!!!!!!!!!!
