My Tribute to Calvin Tan,German Soldier Northern Africa

Hello,

this is my last figure,
it is in 1/35 scale.

It is dedicated to one of the grand masters of modelling,Calvin Tan

He was the one who taught me most of my modelling skills until today!

I used a Hornet Head and Dragon pouches,rifle etc.

Thanks again Calvin!

Hey guys,

wanted to show you this little guy,

made from Aves and GS

the scar and the broken off horn should underline the warrior character,

maybe Ill paint it one day;)

I was at least a little bit inspired by this song;)

hey guys,

got an update today.

biggest changes are the now finished arm,and the complete rebuild trumpet.The thicker wire suits better in my opinion.Arm is removable for further sculpting and painting later on:P

cheers.

BTW here is my attempt on the plume.If I would rebuild this thing in a more neat way,do you think I can use it?

Hello Guys,

I'm figuring out the final pose:)
Trumpet is just a rough mock up and was just fixed with a bit of blue tac.
His thumb is also missing right now;)

hope you like it:)

Hello,

Some newer pictures of the Trumpeter.

As you maybe have noticed,my basic sculpting approach is 90% carving work.

I first form a big blop of putty(as seen on the turnback) and then start to carve the details out.

If I carve too much,I just add putty again and carve.Working like this allows me to easily represent every detail I want.But there are also some details,which aren't good to carve like rough textures,bearskin etc.

I hope you like it.Please note that this figure is NOT any kind of ready..It is still a very very basic shape with a lot of details to sculpt or redo.

and the back:

Hope you enjoy it:)

Andreas

Merry Christmas!!

Hello Guys!

I thought about a new blog because I found the domain to be not suitable.My historical interest is drifting to the medieval and Napoleonic time,so I hope you dont mind ww2miniatures;-)

I'm sculpting this piece right now,and it takes me a LOOOTTTT of patience and discipline.But I think until now its worth it.

head looks quite big on the pics but it isnt this extreme in reality.

the whole sculpt is done in Aves Apoxie sculpt until now.
Head is a modified alpine one.

now,on to the sabre,sabretache,arms,swallow's nest blablabla;-)

I'm wodering why I did not gave up ^^

If any guys of you have tips for the busby plume,tresses etc. I would be very grateful

cheers!

Alpine Peiper in the Ardennes WIP,Luftwaffe Field Division 1944 WIP

2009-01-03T08:35:00.000-08:00

Hi folks,
A little update on the face,Jacket and Trousers.I blended Face ,highlightet trousers and weathered them a bit.Jacket was shaded with black acrylic paint...

and here a pic of my parallel work.A modified Luftwaffe Field division Soldier from Dragon Gen2.I modelled right arm new because of its bad quilted pattern.My friend Pongsatorn Kanthaboon recommended to lengthen the legs for better proportions.

regards
