Nice. The only observation I have, besides being a spledid result, is that you may want to go with store bought weapons. The rifle has a definite curve and the rocket looks as though it would get lodged in the panzerfaust. Did you sculpt the face? That is some very sharp detail.

Ciao the head is from trupeter kit , i just work it with micro milling.
The rifle is from dragon kit i just ruining the wood with a knife.
The panzerfaust is from hold weapons tamiya kit and i put up peddingaus decals.
I sculpt just the uniform, did the buttons with evergreen 0,6 mm and the ties with the copper wires inside electric cables.
Thanks

That would explain why the rifle looks bowed. The weathering is difficult to design on the rocket. Taking a closer look, I can see that it is straight. I would ease off of carving the rifle, a little. Less is more, so to speak. I like the tattered overcoat.

That is a really good attempt at sculpting, there's some great attention to detail and the finished result looks good. Nice work Augusto.
