Here is my latest work. A combination of two photos I came across merged into one dio. Originally I had only planed to have the figure in a winter suit but just did not look cold enough so I added the long coat underneath made a world of difference into making him appear to be doing everything he could to try and stay warm! I scratch built the flare holster and flare pouch from leather all hand stitched, both are fully functional and the flares can be removed from the pouch too. I stratch built all the leather straps on his other equipment too. Hope you like and feedback/critiques are always welcome!
Thanks
Pete

That is examplary work. Very nice details and weathering.

Beautiful. Your scratch work is outstanding, and the whole presentation is powerful, albeit leaving me feeling chilled at the idea of the bitter cold. An exceptional figure, mustangman.

museum-quality, incredible detailing!

Very nice indeed, did you slim down the body at all? You've done a fantastic job of not making him appear too bulky, great job.

 

[mustangman]

I do slim all my bodies by removing material. But also the sweater is just the collar and the sleeves are only just enough to show at the end. The long coat is also modified, sleeves are removed from that too. Otherwise as you said the figure would look too bulky.

Thanks

Awesome figure, i love the sign next to him! And for everybody who doesn't understand : "It was too cold for Napoleon in Russia, but for Hitler it's too hot!"
