Those look excellent fritzkrieg.
where did you get the bare torso? I tried to use an ugha warrior
for a bare chested marine but its a little too skinny and hard to
carve down all those necklace things :x

Just curious where the nude torso came from Fritz, that's good fodder for bare-chested customs but I don't recognize it at all. Great looking figures, and you've probably got the more accurate DAK shelf going... The rest of us have the guys with leggings, and where nobody apparantly needed shorts!

Great work, love the use of Indy fodder.

More Vietnam USMC

Post by Fritzkrieg » Wed Jan 21, 2009 7:04 pm

Thanks for all the feedback guys.

I was not very happy with the way I was showcasing my Vietnam customs, so I started experimenting with some swamp shots. I think I'll try to make the water a little murkier next time. LMK what you think.

these just keep getting better and better. You've really hit something with the VN figures, they're really nice and I'm not even interested in that era.

My only crit is on the DAK pilot, there's something not meshing, or maybe with the harness and the stuka boots he just seems too busy, especially since most of the theatre pilots flew wearing as little as possible.

keep it up, it's inspiring.

The female VC figure looks to based on the POC III Elizabeth Swann figure. But I dont recognize the head. Is it a Justice League head?

Nice job! Did you repaint the uniforms or did you just weather them? Have you tried repainting the skin color on the Vietnam figs? Tankers and Infantry are going to be my next project to man my M113 ACAV.

German Elites

Post by Fritzkrieg » Sun Feb 22, 2009 11:36 am

I really like the 2 newest American Headsculpts, from 21st, her are a couple of elites using those heads. In order to make the Smock wearing German, look more accurate, I added the trim of his field tunic, hanging from under, the smock. I think, I'll be using this formula from now on. LMK what you think.
