Detroitika - Tanner Jon A.
Coupla Fallschirmjägers
Finished these up while watching Three Amigos. Now that they're uploaded of course, I can see they still have a tad more finishing up to do, but whatever.
The helmets are casted, but I ruined both those molds, and neither is a final design anyway. I'll add screws and sculpt on an eagle symbol to the one on the left, then cast it as a final and make a bunch of helmets. The one on the right was the first reproduced one and you can tell by the poorly-cleaned up top.
Now, I'm not entirely certain that Fallshirmjager jackets were ever really produced in white like the one on the left is wearing. FGs certainly wore white uniforms, but I can't find any evidence of the FG uniform mine wears made in white. Anyone know of any? Link me sum ref pics
Also, its painted not decaled, and the dk bley all around is meant to be wrinkles not camo. I think the dark bley did kinda well forming the semi-visible seams, I really want feedback on that in particular though. What do you think of it?
Anyway the winter one is wearing a couple of FG42 pouches, and the Splintermuster one has MP40 pouches on a full Heer rig/harness. Yes is sculpted on the back too, but theres no exciting gear back there. Oh and those FG42 mag pouches are just modified BAR pouches, sorry they're a tad rough right under the flaps. The paint didn't really cleanly cover up the brass rod that's securing them to the hips.
Anyway hope you enjoy! Thanks!
