A small update with the M48 capola. Had been working on the Browning M2 and should be done soon.

Looking good!

Excellent! I'm really looking forward to see where this is going. I wish I'd have had a detailed helmet like yours while I was working on some figures. I ended up using the head/helmet from a 1/16 Tankercraft Vietnam Tank Crew figure that I found on eBay. Carved out the face and replaced them with other options...lol... Anyways, they're still in progress but I've attached a few pictures.

Again, great work and I look forward to seeing your model finished!

Nice look, Engeee!

Thanks Steve, your models are great work as well.

Excellent work!!

very good!! Blender?

Yes, it done with Blender

Amazing likeness. Does the hatch have the rather feeble rubber pad supposed to protect the tank commanders head? (It does not do so, I can say)

I am in awe of what can be done these days, and you do it well.
NR

The only reference that I can find is from a model someone made, seems there's no rubber padding. However, there should s indent area that I need to remodel with the inner surface. Thanks for raising the question and made me look into the matter again.

Hi,
Got some progress, attached are some images of the M2 Browning 0.5 Cal. Still working on some of the details, it's really addictive.

very good M2 Browning

Thanks, now I can add the Browning to the capola and move on to prepare the pose of the figure.

Thanks, it's a chance for me to learn the process by actually doing the modelling ( not the catwalk ).

Some more images of the M2 Browning

M2 Browning added to capola

This is the initial base pose put together with the MG and capola, further refinement of the uniform and figure details will follow
