Default Is this begining of set up meeting your standarts ?

Hi all,

Piecing up together stuff to soon have a mannequin portraying a Wh Unteroffizier during Automn/Winter 1944 in France-Belgium-Alsace. With a m-1942 overcoat, gaiters and shoes with usual equipement rig

The head is French made and the face has for me the “been there Kampfschwein” on his 40’s or 50’s (and as use to say my grandmother “the regular wh soldier fed up with war that show us his wife and kids”)

The only defect i have is that the steelpot is a bit rusted on some place. By the way it also have a very faded 2 tone camo making it look brown ...

Considering there will be no total sunlight where the display will be put ... the aim is to have end of day – beggining of the night

I will add those 40 to 50’s yo men hands

... is the set fit for service considering your standarts of display quality ?

Thanks









Here is the colors as it appears once put in direct daylight

A lot of character in that face. You are off to a good start.

He looks very good. Should come out great. But be careful with direct sun light on your stuff. It will fade the colors.

Thanks for your comment

Once i'll get the room to do so, i'll make it with no "real light" on it

Just a thin light that i'll set to enough see the displays
