Here's a few pics of a new 1/16 figure I've been struggling with:





Hope to finish it soon...

Hi Taesung,

Looks great to my eye thus far. What are you struggling with in particular?

I'm also intrigued by what you appear to be using for an armature. There appear to be resin strips protruding from the wrists - is that your armature?

Hi Taesung,

I really like the body language of this chap. The way you balance the weight is excellently executed. The face is also carry lots of characters especially the stern eyes and mouth.

Looks like splinter pattern, assuming the optional heads will be steel helmet with nets or without, right?

Definitely buy it. When is it going to be release?

Take care
Allan Yong

Thanks guys
I use whatever that I can grab. If it's resin bits, so be it. I'll use it.
I like to use resin bits over plastic styrene pieces because resin
takes the heat better when I dry the putty in a pot.

I hope to release the figure this summer. One head will definitely
have a steel helmet on. Not sure yet about the second head...

Great looking figure T! The draping of the folds is excellent; not too heavy or light.
Not big into German subjects myself, but I'll always buy an interesting figure that catches my eye. Most all your figures do anyways.
