    Dear Andrew,

    I may not have been vocal in your previous posts but you can count me as a big fan of your two talents:

    1. Your selected manner to demonstrate a subject - super stylish and straight to the point

    2. Your rendition of fabric - photo real

    I am particularly thrilled to read that this figure is 1/12. That would make it a must-have.

    This figure is looking great. Very nice pose, indeed.

    Please watch the volume of the upper body.

    A question:
    How do you plan to cast the left hand?

    Taesung,
    The plan is to cast the hand holding the mg hand grip.I might even cast this together far as the armband on the sleeve,then the right arm can stay on the body when cast,will see.The left hand can stay on the arm.

    Try "Fold it hobbies"run by Andrew Judson in Australia.Although he is relatively a new store he stocks or can order the Acmodel range.

    Grüß Di' Andy,

    Great looking sculpt!!! Look forward to seeing it finished.

    One critique though...the water bottle is hanging too low. It should be clipped to the D-ring on the breadbag.

    Hallo Patrick,
    Thanks for the critique.However I have seen a photo of Landser with the water bottle fitted on the lower loop on the breadbag/pouch.Also this conforms some artistic lisense to help with the overall composition.I can always change it if it doesnt look right.
    Alles Gute

    Hello All,
    The front of the tunic is being worked ,however the shirt collar looks a little short and could be extended further.The head has been raised a little higher with the chin up some more giving more emphasis to the pointed hand.comments welcome.

    Hello All,
    The ammo belt is being tried here.Although the belt looks like a simple loop there are some complex angles involved.
    See the white metal castings .Three or four will be added to the kit.There could be a resin length as well,will see how it goes.comments welcome.

    Masterful Andy!

    Great work on the white metal.

    This figure reminds me of a PK sequence taken of German troops entering the town of Thulin in 1940. I'd love to know the insipration for this piece.

    All the best,
    Jon.

    Hello All,
    Progress with the ammo belt as part of it can be cast on the upper body,the rest will be cast seperately either in whitemetal or resin.The Mg is underway however the stock needs extending .
    Comments welcome.
