WIP Wehrmacht Bust 1:16

[ErGide72]

Hello Planeteers!

New project started, this time a Wehrmacht soldiers burst in 1:16 scale, almost completely scratch build, except the head (Alpine Miniatures) and some hardware from the spares (going to be added).

Progress so far, still some work to do!

Working on the Kar 98 ammo pouches

Hope you like it

Back to the bench

Hi Erik

Good to see this being shared , all credit to you , interesting to see how a sculpt develops , like the PE ...where is it from ?

Will you weather the pouches on the corners etc ?

Look forward to seeing more on this

Happy benchtime

Nice work Erik, I like what you have done with this and the work making your own pouches etc.
Where is the metal belt buckle from?

Thanks Nap!

The PE is from the Aber Panzer Crew set. Accessoires in 16th scale are not thick...
I know Rado Miniatures does some, but have to see them first in real. Heard that in 1:35 these PE parts are a bit oversize, as is most of that aber stuff to... (Only need 3 or 4 parts...) Oh well...


All will be weathered of course!

Cheers
Erik

Thanks Steve!

The buckle is from the Aber 1:16 Panzer Crew set.

Cheers

Excellent work, with your talent you should look at annoying NAP and adding legs before looking at having some cast to share with us non sculptors..

He's looking great, I think Reedees do accessories in 120mm. They might be worth a look, all his stuff is really good.

Thanks guys! Appreciated!

Smithy; Have thought about the legs, maybe will do that some day... Tempting...
Well if some company is interested in casting, I'll be all ear...

Scott, yes Reedees do some acc., but not the ones I can use. As said, bit thin... Oh well, can make them myself, if needed!

Back to the bench!

Hi Erik

Great updates he certainly is well armed ...if this goes commercial then a set of legs would be nice for those that prefer to a bust

Good project and interesting to see your progression

Thanks for sharing

[ErGide72]

Small update.

Decided 'on demand' to add some legs to the bust. Not the way to do things, but it worked so far...
Off course all still WIP!...
