Until I resolve some issues with casting (Ultraviolet), continuing with this:



Image is small, but I do not mind cause bigger image would not help to get more likeness

Wrinkles on the upper part of face are too pronounced, I'll tone them down a bit, and add wrinkles to other parts of the face.




Any good ?

I like it, from what I can see in the photo his eyes are much smaller than what you have as his brow combines into the side of his head more.

Also his brow overhands his eyes a little bit more to make his eyes feel shadowed by it.

I also think his cheeks and jaw are less profound, less muscular of a face and more fat and chubby

I noticed some of things that You said and changed them, the others will need more work

Thats much much closer to the image now

Looking forward to more!

Hey Darko,

looks good already. Like to follow the process of refining and adding the beard.

if you need 200 mm rifle, K 98 ( for converting..)let me know.

René

Well, in fact I do

Think that on the picture is this one (M48 according to JNA naming):


It was not in use for a long time when the war began (I was firing from this one just once in JNA on target practice in 1990 ).
But when the war started Croatian army used whatever was available, and this one was not rare to find... We were often equiped with mixture of all kinds of weapons-practically anything that could fire a bullet.

you got a message Darko.

René

Thx Rene !!!!

Great start Darko - Following this one

I like this subject. We also working on Croatian war figures and this year is the 20th aniversary. Good ocassion to make a good figure.

Cheers,
Balázs

I recognize Your avatar, I saw all 3 of them (or is there more in the meantime ?)
They are fantastic, especially for that small scale !

Thank you! I will release soon a Bosnian sniper (with a Zastava - Dragunov). I'm also croatian, but I dont speak. Just my father and grandmother.

Bog!

I did some more last night, think that this is closer to that picture look, something like:"man that cigarette taste good so early in the morning"

Thanks to a friend I got a better image from a bit different angle and in better resolution:



I think i figured out what kind of hat is on his head and why so strange look.
It is probably this:


rolled on his forehead.

Also found that M48 is a copy of a Mauser:

What is the scale going to be? Looking forward to seeing more !

1/6 same as Violet, not ready yet for the smaller scales...

Likeness ? No way

try the mirror Darko!!

you will hate me and thank me for it

ah ah ah ...

..sorry...

I'll try that, especially for the eyes, but i want him to smile a bit asymetricali to the left, so left lip should be more streched and moved up...
