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.

I really hate all the extra junk on the Indiana Jones Motorcyle, so I trimed off the crap, and gave it a new paint job. LMK what you think.

British 8th & Desert Rats

Post by Fritzkrieg » Sun Feb 22, 2009 11:57 am

This is my first attemp at WWII Brits. I cheated on the Helmet, I used a Japanese Helmet, thinking it looked close to the British helmets, when they had the canvas covers on. LMK what you think.

Fritz, great work as always. That Japanese helmet doesn't work for me though. The one Brit that I did also ended up with a Japanese helmet, but it was extremely sanded down inside and out before it even got close to the real thing.

I wish 21c had done a warriors of the world theme for one of their releases. Brit, Italian, Russian, Chinese, Aussie, and perhaps a Canadian or a Frenchman. Would have given the kitbashers of the world some nice basic gear to work with.

Helmet

Post by PanzerArm » Sun Feb 22, 2009 2:42 pm

Fritz, If you need help with making a Brit helmet, I believe Pickelhaube said he made one, Maybe some collaboration between the titans of customs is in order?

USMC Iraq

Post by Fritzkrieg » Sat Feb 28, 2009 10:14 pm

I thought I'd give some modern US soldiers a go. I really did not find any off the shelf figs, I liked, so I took some of the best parts of BBI and Bravo and kit bashed, them into this. I'm also testing out a new camera. LMK what you think.
