Hi Guys
I have decided to concentrate on the 120mm scale as it seems to be just the right size for my projects and decided to open a blog to share with you helpful people.
I have decised to make a sizeable vignette/figure diorama, based on the street by street fighting in early 1943. The scene will involve 3 German troopers, one is mortally wounded and lies in the snow on the rubble on the verge of death,having recently been hit by a sniper. Another figure peers around the wall trying to work out where the danger is whilst another watches on anxiously at the downed soldier.
My intention is to create a sense of drama and anxiety in a relatively confined area, as the soldiers on both sides would have experienced at Stalingrad.
The figures are to be modded, with fresh area's of sculpting and are made up of x2 Stormtroopers 120mm and 1x Verlinden as per below:-
I have modded the verlinden figure to be the dieing/dead soldier lying on the rubble, the Stoortrooper peering by the wall will remain as is and the other stortrooper will be slightly modded to add a sense of worry (if that makes sense)
Anyway here is the start of the modding on the verlinden figure whilst I await delivery of the other two figures from Elgreco Minatures. I have now pinned and glued the legs and boots in position, removed the cigarette, added new hands, tilted the head and sculpted the extended neck scarf (quite difficult getting the pose, balance and sense of dead weight right, but its turned out quite well for now) loads of tidying up to do with the dremel etc, but this gives you a sense of what I am trying to acheive:-
