WWII gi figure not completed first sculpt. Please Reply...

Hey everyone well I actually figured out how to use this forum. This is my first figure. Just started sculpting, well attempted to haha. Please all tell me what you think. Hopefully I can depict a 101st airborne or regular army infantry waiting for an advance(Just deciding) help me out. Thank you all and glad to be on here.
SCALE 120 MM

using super sculpey.

Well, a good start Derek.
and welcome here!

A few more pictures of other angles would be helpful.

While US Reg Infantry and US Airborne shared many uniform items in common, some were distinctive to each. (Jump boots versus regular boots, slightly different cuts in some uniforms, for example)

So I would research now, and decide clearly which it is to be.

Helmet rim needs a bit of straighter edge, the rest of the uniform; is he going to be wearing webbing? It may depress (Squash) the fabric on his shoulders.

Good start though,
what is he sculpted from?

cheers

Great thank you for your input, I should be getting some reference books in soon. I actually have been utilizing the band of brothers series but its a pain pausing every little bit. I am using super sculpey. Very easy to use but a bit soft. Hopefully you will be able to help me along the way for accuracy. ThankS!

Hi Derek

Looking good - a lot of detail in the face already.

I have just started sculpting too so cant really give much advice but I love airborne subjects so I say go for that one!

cheers Mat
