Begining of a new figure.
It is going to be an officer of the Luftwaffe -yes, another evil nazi - in Sicily, 1943.
Scale 1:24.
Still I am not deciced about the headgear. My first intention was a "Meyer" cap but a regular Luftwaffe cap could be cool too...
What do you think?

Diego,

This is seriously cool stuff you are showing!
I like the look you got into the face.
I have no strong opinion on the cap. The look dictates it to sit rather 'nonchalant' in any case!

I will follow with interest.

Cheers, Adrian

Thanks Ferris.
There is still some work to do in the face.

I wil say this is a very good start, even though I have no idea how anyone
can sculpt a head and face/features in that small size. It still astounds me.

Kansas Kid

Very good start.

Marc

Keep this going Diego as I am trying to learn to sculpt, I will try and pick up some tips, good start,
Rob

Nice start , Diego, and a excellent subject too!
"Hermann Meyer" visor cap is very rare to find on a figure, so it would be nice to see it sculpted, but if you want to move away from "being too much uniform" (i.e. to avoid having cap, tunic, shirt and trousers in same/similar shades of sand yellow), I would recommend Luftwaffe tropical uniform with nco/officer's white top visor cap, I think it would be a great combination.

Also, a standard feldblau (blue-grey) visor cap was also worn with the tropical uniform.

Thanks for sharing, Diego!
What material do you use for sculpting and does your figure have a wire frame?
Guido

Thanks friends.
Thanks for your recommendations,Hammond Lord. I was thinking too that a feldblau cap would break a bit monochrome look.
Guido, I am using A mix of Magic Sculpt standard and chocolate. My preferred was "flesh" color but is unavailable right now. Magic Sculpt is fine but I find the standard color slightly translucent.
Some wire was used to suport the legs and, when the pelvis was set, I put some wire like a spine to suport the rest of the body.
Some more progress:

Diego excellent sculpting and great work on the creases and folds. Will follow progress with interest. Many thanks.

Cheers Ken

Thank you.
I think that today will post some new pics.

Diego,

Amazing sculpting and great subject! I envy you guys that can create such masterpieces, from scratch!!! It inspires me to go on to the next level. This site is most valuable! Thanks again Diego!

Thanks, Von Luch!

I posted some pics yesterday but, for some unknown reason, haven´t appeared.

Here they go again

Finally have decided to put the Hermann Meyer cap, although its more ample peak obscures a bit the face.
Now am going to make the pieces of equipment necesaries. If some manufacturer produces a good set of 1:24 equipment... I will be a costumer!
These pics show the progress and the idea of the final stance.

Nice work, Diego! So, you changed your mind about the "Hermann Meyer" cap after all ? Nevertheless, it look great. Keep 'em coming!

Superb looking figure sofar Diego!
Looking forward to the next steps.

Cheers,
Marcel.

Yes, I decided the Hermann Meyer cap because as you said is rare to find in a figure and think that add some tipical style of the Mediterranean theatre.
Thanks, Marcel. I will post very soon.

Diego,

Great progress! Very skillful work!

My compliments!

Jim

Some more progresses.

Diego,

Great sculpting! I can't get enough! Is there any chance of doing a SBS on sculpting some day? That would be wonderful! Can't wait to see him painted!

Jim
