Here's another in the works. Tamiya m10 with Legend and blackdog gear. figures are from mig, gasoline, and total war miniatures. Please excuse my 'ghetto' picture taking. Next up is a round of resin putty to make more sandbags on the M10 and fill in gaps here and there. I love the expression on the Gasoline figure prisoner. The other one I modified. I'll probably tighten the whole thing up more within the base -compact

I like the idea. It'll be great in 1/48. May I make a suggestion? I could tell a mile away that the second POW was modified by his awkward looking torso. Note the angle of his shoulders. It's clear that the fig was sculpted to have his arms level or below -- not raised above his head. Many modelers fail to see that our own arms raise along with our entire rib and shoulder muscles. As is, many modelers make their surrendering figures appear to have Ken-Doll like shoulder sockets. I don't know the solution beyond major sculpting or deletion or finding another figure. Just a suggestion.

I see now thanks. I'll give him a little more adduction and internal rotation at the shoulders.

Looks great to me Greg, just alittle groundwork, paint and you're good to go!

Thanks Bettle!


Well, I gave the guy a wounded arm in a makeshift sling, brought the other arm forward, heated the legs and switched their positions. If the figure is believable, next thing is paint. All suggestions welcome.

The painting has begun

I got the figures painted too (the best I can). I'm going to add some chipping/outlining still to the M10. I'm not sure if I need the 50 cal on there or not? Then maybe a few grasses to the base.

Gret work as always Greg! I admire yiur work speed... Personally I would add the .50 and if I was the crew I'd probably have it close by when dealing with prisoners as the M10 has no other machine guns.

Keep up the good work!
Stefan

Greg,

Nice work, I'm looking forward to see how this one turns out. And yes, add the .50. Even though the M10 crew would have grease guns or carbines, the .50 has been and will always be a gun that soldiers rely upon. It has the ability to dominate the battlefield in short order, and I would imagine as a POW looking down the barrel, there would be zero monkey business.

thanks

Kevin

50 cal in mount and a grease gun laying on the turret it is then. It's always helpful to have someone check your progress as you get tired and miss stuff. Thanks for the tips and motivation Stefan and Kevin

Greg: looking very good. Nice Stowage and good fix with the wounded arm.

Happy Modeling, -zon

I began some oil washes and dry brushing, still things to fix and add the 50 cal.

Very nice project, amigo. Nice re-working of the German'
s arm. Great stowage and nice pose of the GI also. I would suggest more rubble and a fair amount of spattered mud and grass on the M10's tracks and sides. Since it was fitted with the makeshift hedge cutter, it must havehad to tear its way through fields and hedgerows.
Nice work.

Thanks Zon and Mike. I take all suggestions under consideration
