Really like the WW2 continuation soldiers. Do you have any Fortress America troops to battle the Nazis? If so, I'd like to see them.

warhawker · Post by **warhawker** » Tue Apr 22, 2008 7:22 am

Really great stuff! I like the whole setup. As well, I would like to know where this continent "Antartica" is? Is that where H.R. Pufnstuf is mayor of the island?
(Just teasing, I know what you meant, great custom and attention to details. Do you have any armor of the future for these guys?)

This is a huge custom project I put together a couple of years ago. I was going for a Star Wars (German WWII style Armored division) It took me about a month to make all the tanks and vehicles, for this diplay. LMK what you think. Here is a link if you want to see more detail on the various vehicles.

I've wanted to make one of these guys, for a while, I just could'nt find a good German Sheperd, to use. This one is from Schleich, he's a little thick, but this is the best one I've found. LMK what you think.

Wow, wow and wow! You are a maistro! Can I come over to your house and play?

I love the SW display and recognize the old Cobra swamp boats, but what did you use for the Panzers? Looks like Bradley turrets with Challenger main guns but I have no clue what you used as the AFV base...

Fritzkrieg · Post by **Fritzkrieg** » Tue Apr 29, 2008 4:17 pm

The Military Channel has been running "Das Boot", this week and it inspired me to make a U-Boat Captain. LMK what you think.

Panzer_M · Post by **Panzer_M** » Tue Apr 29, 2008 4:57 pm

now he needs a boat.

Even a Neger would work in the vast-vessellessness of 1:18

normandy · Post by **normandy** » Tue Apr 29, 2008 5:49 pm

Fritzkrieg, your custom figures are great!!!
The Star Wars stuff is some of the coolest Sci Fi custom work I seen. Das Boot figure is very good!! What did you use to put him together?

Fritzkrieg · Post by **Fritzkrieg** » Wed Apr 30, 2008 1:14 pm

I put together a few Vietnam era US soldiers, from leftovers, I had from my Germans. This is my first attempt a Vietnam era customs. LMK what you think.

I 've been trying to fing a decent sized horse to pull of this custom. I think the horse is still a little underscaled. LMK what you think.

German Calvary Officer and Mount

HIDEOUS ONE · Post by **HIDEOUS ONE** » Wed Apr 30, 2008 5:29 pm

Fritzkreig, I love your work. your attention to details is exemplary. I had done a nam custom with tiger stripe camo too, but my dog "slinky" got hold of him and turned him into shredded grunt. I also like jerry on horseback. I remember a while back someone was posting pictures of a toy line that came as a set. One of which had a camel (with articulation) and also a scale horse (also articulated). I wish I could remember the name of the line but I am sure someone here has a link. Unfortunately, Tiger D's camera couldn't capture the detail in some of my customs, and we didn't have the time to set up a quality back drop. We should have captioned some of the flics too, like the 761st black tank crew and the french resistance figs. We will come more correct next time. I am inspired by you and zelda a lot. Haven't seen a post from zelda in a bit though.

Hey man when I get back on my A7V I will need some WW1 Germans done. It looks like you will be able to handel it. Will you up for some WW1 German trench customs?

Razor17019 · Post by **Razor17019** » Wed Apr 30, 2008 6:44 pm

Your figures ROCK!
I like the Vietnam guys. Very nice.
All of your figures do have a great attention to detail and the right amount of "roughed up and lived in" look.
Thanks for sharing with us!
I would like to see some WWI soldier too. Anything that has not been produced yet is always a welcome sight and a nice thing to show big figure makers (21stC, BBI, FOV) what can be done...

The company that makes the horse you mention is Power Team Elite. They aren't as easy to find as they used to be. I couldn't find any on eBay but here are a few links with information and a few where you can buy them:

yo fritz, these are great customs, i'm not too big a fan of your indy custom though

the tigerstripe camo SF operator is almost perfect

one bit of criticism about the DAK rifleman whose arms look a tad too long

Fritzkrieg · Post by **Fritzkrieg** » Wed May 14, 2008 10:11 am

This custom was a little pricey to make, I had to canabalize 2 Indy figs just for the shorts and legs. I thank the results look fairly accurate. LMK what you think.
