1/35 Tamiya German Army infantry set

[Lee Drennen]

Thanks Steve. Not much to work with on these guys but I’m trying. Don’t know if I will try another one of these oldies I will probably change up to more newer ones lots of “voids” in these

[Lee Drennen]

Been trying to work on these guys but the lack of detail on them are very frustrating to work on I may have to abort this project altogether due to the lack of detail on these and trying to make them look halfway decent looking

[Lee Drennen]

Ok I’ve re-grouped on this build also and thought I would try it again. Jon mentioned he read about removing the existing equipment and replacing it with more detailed ones so here we go[ATTACH]323863[/ATTACH][ATTACH]323864[/ATTACH]

Lee .
Jon's idea is a great save. Glad you took up the idea. Already the detail of the kit stands out. :thumb2:

Thanks John me too. Here’s what I have got done. I’ve removed all of the equipment that I could and re-scribed some lines

Nice work Lee.
The clothing doesn't look too bad, it was the kit . That new m/g takes it to another level .

Hi Lee
That looks so much sharper. Well worth the effort. We also have to bear in mind the "unfairness" of blowing up the original figure to 5 or 6 times normal size. Just shows up issues that are not apparent when looked at normally. You do sound as if you are having fun and that's what it is all about.

Great work Lee. Very brave of you to chop them about, but the results are terrific. There was a standard way of wearing German equipment, but that soon changed in the field to suit the preferences of the individual soldier. The only problem I can see is that you've got the bread bag/haversack upside down.

Keep up the good work.

Lee.
Great improvement.

Jim. Thanks your right they look faraway but you look up close they tend to lose the detail

Peter. Thanks for the complement that means a lot and for pointing the bread bag I will fix that immediately. There’s a lot of pictures of the soldiers in the field
where their equipment is in all different places so I figured I just put it on this way.

John. Thanks for following along with this build it’s been a fun. Keep your seat Steve Jones hasn’t showed up yet you may lose it if he does
