Completed Wwii Female Soviet Sniper [65mm Sculpting]

[nico37]

Hi all,

here is my last finished project, as the title says it's a woman under russian uniform. The vignette takes place somewhere in East Germany in early '45.
I'm proud of it cause it's my more successfully completed one, that doesn't mean that there are not mistakes, just that there are less than on my previous ones !
The base is also "home made" with plaster and styrene.
Also i presented it for my first contest and i won a bronze medal in the "rookie" category, i was really happy .

So here are the pics:

Firstable the result and awards:

And then the different steps:

Sentence translation (i'm sorry for russian speakers if my letters are not quite propers, i don't speak russian at all....):
"Destroy the facist vermin"

Translations:
upper words : "strikes the facists"
lower word: "Victory"

Cheers
nico

Oh ! I'm very sorry for the mistake, if i see well it's for the last but one letter ? I wrote a K instead of the good one ?

I'll try to correct it, thanks NickolayS to have pointed it .

Cheers

Hi!
You have also used latin N instead of the mirrored one used as "I" in russian (и). And as you say, "K" instead of "H".

Nice sculpt!

Thanks Ringius, and you know, i looked several times at this N to check they were in the cyrilic sens and....each time i saw them like that !!!!! Maybe i need some eyes check up ! .....will be very difficult to correct it.....eyes and letters

You could maybe put a bullet hole or similar through the middle of the N ? Might be easier that way than repainting
