Austro Hungarian Stormtroopers

So, after many years of lurking here I bought a new camera, what means reasonble pictures I can post.

I'm basicaly building large scale figures, but ICM's German stormtroopers were too nice and cheap to leave it at the LHS

I wanted to finish them as (Austro) hungarian stormtroopers so minor sculpting, carwing and mixing-matching of different bod parts was required, as I didn't have replacement heads but didn't like the ones from the box, I sculpted (will sculpt) gas masks on them.

The base is not finished I only experimented with pastells and Vallejo matt varnish. I have to sculpt three or four rovs of sandbags on the lip of the trench plus some weapons and equipment, but right now I don't know how the end result will look like.

The third figure, not visible in the picture, will be the commander climbing upstairs to see what his men are doing.



The in progress figure is painted mainly with Vallejo and a bit of oils

The start is great,
The trench is absolutely stunning in this early stage.
Hope to see him finished soon.

Thank you for your kind words, I hope to post some progress in the evening.

Some off topic questions:

I edited the thread title (I think I did), but in the listing its still "test".
Can I somehow change it?

If I remember correctly, I can ask for workbench by Gordy via email?

On topic:
Does someone know a source for references on Austo Hungarian ammo/grenade etc. boxes? Like the Wehrmachts kisten site only ww1?

Thanks

Just a small update, basecoated the terrain with a mixture of vallejo black and marron chocolate. Next come some pastels.
And the third figure in place I mentioned earlier. Their backs are only primed with a mid gray tone to help observe the fold on the white plastic, which as I had to rebuild.

Small steps (I'm working parallel on Italieri's midget sub Maiale )

Finished the sandbags from Miliput and added lost folds and wrinkles to the modified figures.
