Hello All,
This is a start on a WW1 topic in 75 which is relatively new to me.However ,a lot of work has been done to get this far.
The Rifle,helmet,gasmask,bayonet ,grenades and lower half of boots were all sculpted first and then cast.This seems to make the sculping move along.I,ve also used some cast 75mm heads(own stock)to help things along too.
With a basic set of equipment cast ,I can then draw on them for other figures and poses when the time comes.
Its a bit of a one man band effort here but its challenging and fun nonetheless.
Comments welcome.

Hi Nap,
I have a couple of very good reference books called German Trenchwarfare(Grabenkrieg),the two volumes are from Tankograd.
Recommended.

Very nice Andy! I look forward to seeing it come together.

All the best,
Dan

That will turnout into a great German.

Very nice so far. Why are you casting the bits rather than using the originals? Is the rationale to make the piece commercial or is it to have copies for future projects? Just curious.

Hi Andy. Good Start. What is that under the gun? A really unusual magazine or only "resin"?

Amazing work as ever Andy.

Hello All,
Thanks for the comments.The idea is to cast bits for future use.
Ulrich,i have added under the rifle a Grabenmagazin,used in the trenches according to my reference.
Cheers
Andy

Really looking forward to seeing this progress. Great start!!

ei! those cpomplements are commercials? I'm sculping germans in 75mm too, and i would like to get some of them!!

Hello All,
Tunic has been added with bandolier.The helmet height has been raised a little more making it look more WW1ish.
Comments welcome.

Looking good, Andy!

Two photos showing the Gewehr 98 and magazine.

All the best,
