I got this figure a few weeks ago on eBay. I'm repositioning the right arm, and going to try and add some rounds to the GPMG. Just finished the jacket, working on the pouches and the ammo belt now. Finished rebuilding the right arm where the butt stock sits in the elbow, trimmed the shoulder so that the angle of the arm is better.

Nice work so far, if you are struggling with the GPMG link then I can send you some resin 1/9 scale MG42 link, not exactly the same but very close, just send me a PM if you need them.

All the best

Thanks Steve, that's very generous of you. I'm new to sculpting, having previously only used filler to fix gaps etc, and 'sculpted' the odd sandbag. I'm enjoying the process, but if I can't get the links right I'll be in touch. I'll probably be in touch at some point anyway, because I like the look of some of those heads you have on your site.

It's good to see you are having a go at the sculpting, you get a lot of satisfaction knowing you made it yourself.

All the best
Steve

Thanks for the welcome Nap. Im going through a 'figure phase' atm, I've painted figures on and of over the years, but recently getting more into larger scale, and sculpting. Im planning on getting some supplies to do a bigger conversion/sculpt, probably something mideval.
I'll post some of my previous work later.
Cheers
Henk

well done on the sculpting looks a lot like this one i sculpted years ago

Sorry, I probably should have credited the figure in my original post, It is your figure moz (can i call you moz?), it had the Bergen and ammo belt added by someone else, not sure who, and I bought it mostly assembled a few weeks ago via evilbay. Who ever did the conversion, did a nice job on the Bergen, but the right arm and the right hand did not sit at the right angles and the right shoulder didn't look right. I'l have to post a picture later, As that one is on a different device. I only reposiioned the right hand/GPMG, and the position of the right arm.

BTW, I like your figures, I recently finished the Arnhem para with the 2cm mortar, and I'm considering another figure or two of your for a future project. I'l
Upload a picture in a minute.

Cheers

Great job on the cammo jacket!

Thanks Matt.

Progress has been very slow, to much work, and the weather is to hot. But I've got a few days of before starting a new job on Monday, so onwards we plod. I've attached the right arm now, and started filling the gap. I've also redone the face, and I'm happier with it now.
I hope someone here can help me, I'm not sure what colour the chin strap should be? Brown leather? Black? Blacked Brown? I can't find a good clear reference picture. Any help, and other comments greatly appreciated.

Hello Henk.
Looks like dark green webbing strap with black plastic chin cup.
Figure looks very good.
Jon.

Thank you Jon. Dark green it is. For some reason I was convinced that it was a leather strap.

But that is a different strap from the one on the figure.

Ignore!

Almost finished the bergen and the pouches. I will pick out the various attachment straps on the bergen in a darker olive green yet. I appreciate the opinion of you all, your help and pointers are invaluable to me to do this figure justice.
In the right side shot you can make out the filling in that I've done so far between the shoulder and arm. It needs a bit more tinkering and smoothing out.
