I have found in an old book following picture of an german "Landwehrmann" from 1914/15



So I try to sculp a bust from it and here the first results






It is a start and many things are to do now.

Any comment are welcome

Ulrich

Good beginning, Ulrich! Wonderful picture for you to work from! Keep at it and let us see the progress.

All the best,
Dan

hi Ulrich and Dan

I think it's a great help to have a support like that
Nice start Ulrich

Seb.

Thanks Dan and Seb.

New pictures will follow in some days

Ulrich

Looking good so far Ulrich. I too am looking forward to seeing your progress.

Roger

Still living

I nearly finished my "Landwehrmann" and here are the results. Some cleaning is to do and I must sculp the "Kronprinzenpfeife". I start with it, but I have some problems.

But here the pictures from my bust










Any comments are welcome

Ulrich

Ready

Ok. No comments here, but on other sides. And so many things had to be changed and here the new results




Hope you like it a little bit and any comment are welcome

Ulrich

Nice work Ulrich. Is the tunic going to be feldgrau or dunkelblau? Either would be correct for early war Landwehr. I know what I would choose but I won't say anything yet until you decide

Well done Ulrich! Big improvements!!

All the best,
Dan

Looking good, looking forward to seeing you paint it.

Cheers
Roc

Thanks a lot for your comments

@ Roger. I think you would choose dunkelblau. At the moment I didn´t know what color I want choose. But we will see

Ulrich

Nearly ready

Hi everyone

My Landwehrmann is nearly finished. Today I put the head on the body and must do now some "rest-works". But here some pictures from the landwehrmann and his pipe






Hope you like it a little bit

Ulrich

Excellent bust. Painting is very good.

marc

hi Ulrich,
i think you did a great work on the pipe !
You can be proud of this bust.

Seb.

Marc and Seb

Thanks a lot for for comments.

Ulrich

Hi Ulrich nice piece and nice subject.
I have surfed on this during a search and I would like to use this source for a piece, but I'm in trouble with the uniform details, greatcoat and coat collars. Can anyone help me to identify colors and markings?

Thank you

Hi Ricky

If I know exactly what you wanted to know I think that I can help. I have enough books and other sources about the german army at that time

Ulrich

Btw: I like your Gandalf

Well done Ulrich!!! Beautiful pipe - that's a great bit of "color"!

All the best,
Dan

Ulrich, Thank you for fast reply,
I have no idea of what color are the waffenrocks/shoulder strap. I can see some details in your pictures, it seems to me that tunic should be field gray piped in red, but I don't see clearly the colors of tunic's collar

I have understood that this subject should be 11th Bavarian landwehr regiment part of the 4th Bavarian division, but i was not able to find details of the uniform

Ricky. I will have to do tomorrow many things, but at the next weekend I will try to answer all your questions and think will be able to show some pics here

Dan: Thank you very much

Ulrich
