Rommel figure 1/9 200mm

Thanks Rene and John for the comments, some measuring work will be required, its true the thing that John pointed about the voliminous clothing, I´ll try to make it look more proportionate, this is the pic I use as reference, as you can see he was quite short and close shoulders, thanks mates!

Antonio, I think that big volume on this pic comes from wind blowing from behind (look at his left corner of the coat twisted around), so I think without wind, coat would not be so "filled" with the "mass" (it almost looks like a skirt).
BTW: any progress ?

 

[antonio argudo]

I agree with you Darko, wind from behind!
I change the pose, here it is what I got so far...
Thanks for dropping a look!

 

[antonio argudo]

still correcting proportions, arms were too long, the fist need to be show, not really into detail now, more to come... little by lttle
grettings!

Im looking for reference pictures for the wrinkles on the leather coat, mainly the bottom zone, front and backwards! you can contac me at [email protected] , thanks in advantage mates!

 

[pokrad]

Is this going to be this type of coat ?

 

[antonio argudo]

good ones, thanks Darko!
first one looks like the type with hanches sleeves and slanted pockets, would be better pics with people wearing it!

wasn't this Sepp Dietrich's personal coat?

I say, Antonio, go look around for a coat like that and make someone wear it for one session...you'll neve know what you discover.

Rene, I agree, that would clarify many points! I should buy a 3000$ original ww2 greatcoat to finish this figure lol!
Taesung that web is amazing and money trouble for collectors!
Thanks mates!

Dear gents,

ofcourse I meant a somewhat cheaper raincoat or so....

maybe you have some changing preferences Antonio and you can check how this coat ' drops' .
