Hi Andrew,

Your sculpted looks very neet and nice.
May I permit one suggest ?
I think the way you place the arms looks as if the germans were tired to raise their arms higher. I guess that during the Buldge Battle, which were very tough for US guys, they were a bit nervous and fingers on the trigger, so that would encourage germans to raise their arm correctly and spontanously. Moreover since Normandy battles some germans played dirty tricks to allied when surrending, one of the sauqdron surrender whereas the rest ot the squadron ambushed the allied.

You could take into example the georgian legion set by Dragon. German arms form a 90° angle with the torso and 90° angle at the elbow.

The scene could depict a later moment when americanslead their prisonniers to trucks towards camps. But in that case they have no more weapons and then are not forced to up their hand..

That's my two euros touhgts.

Best,
Julien

Not to belabor a point but a couple of guys with their hands on top of their heads might add some variety.

/They look great
//Afraid to even try to sculpt anything

thanks guys
you have made good points
ill take them on board
the arms raised higher is a good idea
these are the first idea i had
and hads on top of heads i like as well
sculpting is fun
i was realy bad at it at the start but it gets easier
i would encourage everyone to have a go
regards andrew

but that would mean that he would have to remove the bonoculars,ammo pouches,etc

Hi merry christmas.
IN fact He will be obliged to put off the figure nades and pistol, but the ammo pouches can stay, since they have no weapon to use with...
Andrew, I agree with you regarding sculpting: it's viral and once you start, you cannot stop...

Mroning Andrew,

Merry Christmas and all that stuff. Another grand idea, you must have a little production line going. I have to say your figure conversions are very cool indeed.

You should do a feature article, sort of idiots guide for beginners like me. Modelling mainly British figures it is a constant pain trying to rethink the same poses and although there are many excellent resin figures the cost is horrendous.

Have fun.

Cheers
