Model Military International – September 2019

September 2019 - Model Military International 51

FIGURES

The pianist and his audience were to be built using

a number of parts of different origins, although the

main sources were various Tamiya sets.

The Panzer-man

was the least

troublesome to

prepare.

...and replaced one of the arms, in accordance with

my reference picture. As the base for the latter,

I used a modified plastic arm from my figure bit

stash. A length of wire was embedded within it.

The sleeve was

created with

Magic Sculpt.

Once I’d corrected

some details, the

figure was ready.

I reworked the legs...

The second character was

a soldier wearing an SS-fur

winter parka. In this case,

I also used a Tamiya figure

as the base.

I began by modifying the

folds of the trousers, and

seriously thinned down the

upper parts of the uniform.

This allowed me to sculpt the

parka, mainly using Magic

Sculp epoxy putty again.

The details were created with a mixture of Magic

Sculp and Green Stuff, as well as some styrene bits.

The arms were selected from my figure bit stash.
