Hello everyone and Happy New Year 2012.
Like many I decided to model a bust scale 1 / 10 °.
I chose a Volkssturm in 1945.
I use magic sculp and terracotta Milliput.
The first pictures relate to the start of the face.
thank you
alain

Because of the different colours it is hard to appreciate properly, but this looks like a wonderful start. The face sculpt looks really well. The nose is possibly a bit flat?

I look forward to the rest of your work.

Cheers,
Adrian

Hi all,
FERRIS Thank you for your comments. The nose is not over.
I continue modeling with the beginning of the bust. The right arm will be modeled later. The texture of the wool sweater is made with an old paintbrush.
See you soon

Looks like a great start, the basic shape of the face looks pretty darn good.

Hi all,
Figure lover thank you for your compliments.
The first accessory for my bust is a Panzerfaust. It is made from wood, plastic card and the foil.
If you have any questions or comments, they are welcome.
See you soon,
alain

Good evening to all,

Hello,
The departure of the other accessory for my bust, hat. It is performed by placing a ball of magic sculp and Milliput on the head of the figurine. The crown is covered with sheet metal of the same product. Note the holes and pins corresponding to better position the hat to finish.
more photos when it's finished.

Hi Alain

great start and nice project.
In the photos it looks as if the hat was a little high, almost like a cylinder!
Cheers

Weak citizen with a mighty fists, very artistic conception

Great start Alain, like it alot, different. Agree with Hendryck that the hat should sit more lower on the head and maybe the pullover on the face more particularly around the temple area. Well done.

Rob

Good evening,
Hendrycks, Rob, yes, you're right. But I am attaching to this email a photo of the Bundesarchives, you'll see the hats. Gele, yes, but a dramatic time for all civilians!
The hat is finished refining the sides and adding details. Thank you all for your comments.
Alain

Good evening the planet,
I continue my step by step with the gloved hand on the Panzerfaust. It is performed in phases.
1. the overall volume of the hand.
2, the folds of the glove.
3, the details of the fingers.
I used the magic scupl.
see you soon

Hi Alain

better now .

Hendryk

hello all,
Ok! thank Hendryk, Rob looks at the picture of time and especially the pullover of these civilians. The mode was different at that time.
Modeling continues with the progress of the jacket.
See you later.
alain

Hi all,
the beginning of the right arm, we see the sleeve of the sweater and the flange Milliput will be the sleeve of the jacket.
Button of the shirt is sheet metal, cut with a punch Punch & die.
Alain

Nice progress Alain.

Cheers,
Adrian

Hi all,
and thank you for your attention to my work.
Ferris thank you because you follow my work from the beginning.
I continue my modeling with the seams of the leather jacket.
I use welding wire and I adjust the flaps of leather with magic sculp.
I return to my modeling.
Cheers
