Dolf Posted September 25, 2006 Posted September 25, 2006 Dave, Stephen, WOW!!! Wonderful job guys! Outstanding! Dolf
Dolf Posted September 25, 2006 Posted September 25, 2006 (edited) Have a few of mine posted here, only Verlinden 120mm and one Verlinden 200mm (Adolf Galland):http://gmic.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=5816Just a couple of close-ups of Galland figure.Dolf Edited September 25, 2006 by Dolf
Dolf Posted September 25, 2006 Posted September 25, 2006 (edited) Well, compared to a pic of the real Galland apparently I painted him looking a bit older than he might be, but than again when I painted it I didn't have Internet and all that and only used a pic from a Janes book as a model.Dolf Edited September 25, 2006 by Dolf
Dolf Posted September 26, 2006 Posted September 26, 2006 Another couple of close-ups, these ones from Norman Schwarzkopf, comparing with a pic of the real one.Dolf
dwmosher Posted September 30, 2006 Posted September 30, 2006 This is a extensively modified WW1 120mm sturmpioneer from Euroscale.
Kev in Deva Posted September 30, 2006 Posted September 30, 2006 Two more.DolfHallo Dolf, Great model, you got the desert "Choclate chip*) camo pattern well done, I always felt though the cap was too small for the head on this figure * it was found to be a great pattern of camo for the Nevada Desert, USA, but totaly unsuitable for the sands of Kuwait & Iraq Kevin in Deva
dwmosher Posted September 30, 2006 Posted September 30, 2006 I used a flash for the photos above and it tended to "bleach out" the images. I tried something different with indirect outside lighting with no flash for these pictures with different results.
dwmosher Posted September 30, 2006 Posted September 30, 2006 This is the 120mm WW2 machinegunner by Tamiya. The detail and fit of the figure is very well executed and only the "chicken-wire" netting and the MG strap was added.
dwmosher Posted September 30, 2006 Posted September 30, 2006 Again, interesting results with indirect outdoor lighting w/o flash.

Not being a professional I admit I'm kind of proud of my camo This was done maybe some 15 years ago +/-, but I kind of remember it wasn't an easy task and demanded quite a few tests in spare pieces of resina (the material these figures are made of) before I managed to get the effect I pretended. ...I always felt though the cap was too small for the head on this figure Right, you can see that in the real picture of the real Schwarzkopf, as if he used say a M size for a L size head Fortunately the model came with a cap that fits just right on the top of his head Dolf Edited September 30, 2006 by Dolf
dwmosher Posted October 1, 2006 Posted October 1, 2006 Here is a 120mm WW1 german machinegunner by Verlinden. The helmet was reworked into a more accurate shape and the chinstrap, the mg strap, the mg flash reducer, the bayonette troddel, the central bread bag hook, the EK2 ribbon and the mg qualification sleeve insignia were added. The figure was painted to be a member of LGR 109.
dwmosher Posted October 6, 2006 Posted October 6, 2006 I started out with the old 90mm Superior Willie II figure from the 70's and ended up keeping and using only portions of the torso and the helmet. The head was built from scratch, the body enongated and the curaiss was filled in and detailed (including the agiullette).Something different...
bigfoot Posted October 29, 2006 Posted October 29, 2006 Hello, I am new here. My name is Jaime and I am from Spain.I hope you like this figure.
Dolf Posted October 29, 2006 Posted October 29, 2006 Hi Jaime,Welcome aboard. Very nice figures indeed! Which scale are they?Dolf
dwmosher Posted October 30, 2006 Posted October 30, 2006 JamieI was watching football (American!) yesterday and it hit me that your Vietnam grunt reminded me of Jake Plummer of the Dever Broncos! Your figures are very good. Do you use oils?RegardsDave
dwmosher Posted December 13, 2006 Posted December 13, 2006 This is a 150 mm bust of Imperial German navy pilot Hans Goerth, which was sculpted by Mike Good.RegardsDave
lazyschnauzer Posted December 17, 2006 Posted December 17, 2006 Dave - Your figures and busts look just terrific!! Dolf - I know Dave knows about Planetfigure and Timelines, but haven't seen you on them. Thought I'd offer them as "other places to play". http://planetfigure.com/ http://www.timelinesforum.com/All the best,Dan
