Dog in 1/72

[Markus Lack]

Hey Guys,
i need a peeing Minedog for a small Vignette i want to build.
A friend sent me a Dog that could be converted to an Minedog.
It is a softplastic (very hard to clean the seams) Dog from a Revell WWI Figureset.
As i need a peeing Dog, the Dog from the box looks like more walking, i cut one leg of and prepared it so far.
Then I used Superglue to fix it back again on the figure, and used Magic-Sculpt to get the right proportions right.
There is still a lot of work to do, such as fixing the other leg on the Dog, clean the seams, make the other bags aso...

As it is the first REAL conversion I make and the first time i use Magic-Sculpt, I´m pretty pleased with it.

For further Informations about Minedog (and the drawing that i used for reference), check this site:

Ok,now up to the Pics:

I hope you like it a bit.
Please let me know some comments

Hey Guys,
thank you for the kind words, glad you like it :lol: .

I made some update on the conversion the last days.
I finished the two bags and starting to change the angle on the lifted leg.
It really is some hard work as the dog is really tiny.

I have to change the postion of the right leg on the backside to.

The Dog compared to my finger (i bent the right front leg and need to fix that).

I hope you like it so far.

Greetings!
