WIP WWII British Infantry Officer & NCO :D

[steelbonnet]

Hi All,

Well I`m pretty close to having these 2 finished & a group of 6 British Para`s too.

So thought I`d share my Infantry for input so far





I`ve yet to add insignia,awards,rank & of course webbing too (all sculpted & ready to go,once I sort out webb straps).Also need to add puttees & paint the boots black.

So overall what do you guys think?

LMK as always opinions are valued

Looks great......how did you do the helmet?

[steelbonnet]

Thank`s Aferg

The helmet is sculpted onto a Chap mei head (that face just screams British to me ).

Ingrediants:-

Officer NCO

Heads Action Force Chap Mei sculpted helmet
Torso`s Blackhole figure Joe JvC Dusty
Arms Sanded down PTE Sanded down PTE
Hands XD XD
Waists GI Joe GI Joe
Legs Joe Duke v1 Joe Duke v1

Leg pouches were sculpted onto the left thigh. Pouches onto the Blackhole torso were als sculpted on. As said already helmet is sculpted.
Using actual cloth for puttees & webb straps with sculpted pouches.

Weapons will be at the moment a browning Hi Power & a Sten gun (Action force).

Hope that helps

Again thank`s Aferg

Hi Red
Thank`s very much mate,Appreciate the kind words Glad you like them

As for the Japanese light MG converted into a Bren,that`s a Great idea alas I don`t have any of the Japanese figures Though if I can get a few of that LMG I will most certainly convert them into Brens

STEELBONNET--I have seen your work and your being way to humble--But thank you I appreciate it!!!---RED---

[steelbonnet]

Thank`s RED though I`d like to think I`m straight as an arrow mate on spotting talent & You along with several others are Superb

It`s hard to judge your own stuff (it is in my case) so I never rate myself as good or better. As long as I am happy that`s all that matters

As for how good I`d rather leave that to fellow customiziers & collectors rather than rate myself.

Though I do thank you all for the kind words

Oh I`ve got 3 of the Japanese LMGs coming to me so watch out in the future for Bren guns

Oh & the WWII British Para`s will be done soon too

[steelbonnet]

Well thank You very much RED.I truely appreciate that. I know there`s a LOT of true talent on SSHQ & well it helps to push me to try & do better.To try & be as good as some of you guys on here.

As for the Japanes LMGs aka Bren`s well there enroute to me so as soon as they arrive I`ll redo them to Brens & post them WITH my WWII Brit Airborne
