501ᵉ Régiment de chars de combat, 501ᵉ RCC, 1944

I managed to complete the first figure from the set and placed it on a backdrop with a French concrete sign from Miniart Models and a Jerry can from HD Models.

501ᵉ Régiment de chars de combat, 501ᵉ RCC, 1944

This is a work in progress of a 1/35 scale 3D print of a digital sculpture from a French brand, Dynamo Models. It can be interchangeably used to represent either a US or Free French Forces (FFF) tank crew in the ETO. As usual, it is painted with AK Gen 3 and Quick Gen acrylics.

A little more progress made on the helmet cover as well as the extension on the two shoulders.

Painting the helmet cover this evening. Experimenting with the AK Quick Gen colours to create the blurring effect for the blurred edge camo.

Young Miniatures - LSSAH, Unternehmen Wacht am Rhein, 1944

 Here is another bust from Young Miniatures which I started over the past weekend. I decide to customise this piece by replacing the original face with another taken from the Ardennes Fallschirmjäger bust.  The separation was made along the chin strap to transplant the new face; minor repairs were made with epoxy putty.



The face and balaclava are painted with AK Gen 3 acrylics and AK Quick Gen paints using UMV as a painting medium.



I also decided to extend the shoulders with some epoxy putty.


Cheers,

Calvin
