Some more customs [WWII]

British Sniper


Little vig to show my latest mod, a scoped Lee-Enfield. This is one of my favorite weapons.


Panzerfausts


Made from some BA RPGs. I also made an used one from a rod and some scratch.

Also, another try at erasing the background. I accidentally erased a part of helmets too, though. >.<


Feedback is appreciated. Please excuse the crappy editing, I'm still learning.

If you want I could do it:



That only took me a minute.

You've shown me before, thanks, but I can't see any differences apart from a little white removed from their helmets. I now know I can get rid of that by smudging.

Really? I thought it looked quite different.

Awesome figures BTW, much better than most of the WWII stuff on Flickr.

I can actually tell a huge difference between yours and Tac's...but hey, it's your choice.

Lee-enfield looks great. As do the panzerfausts. Although They were a bit more round, This works fine as a stand in.

Yea, Will designed these to be used as both RPGs and panzerfausts. The proto has a folded down sight, which wouldn't be useable for combat, only for storage.

The gun on the first one looks quite nice.

The sniper rifle is cool, pretty clean glueing.

British sniper is my favorite, panzerfausts are cool too. Great custom sniper by the way.

Thanks for the feedback, guys!

Nice job DP, what I would really like to know is how you made the British guy's brodie helmet.

I thought that British troops stopped using those helmets after WW1. I might be wrong though.

Nope, they used them in WWII too.

Nitro, it's one of these helmets, with a lot of sanding and cutting.

Tank you DP, I needed to know because I'm thinking about making some WWII figures, and Beta, DP is right, the British used the helmet in WWII, and so did the Americans until they made the M1 helmet .

The German's custom panzerfaust's and the figs look great! But weren't the Britsh dark tan, not tan?

Maybe dark tan in the european theatre...but what about Africa, my friend?

Very cool custom guys. I like how the guy on top looks like he is kneeling!

Love the Panzerfausts, they look really good! Nice work DP!

Is that hat in the first picture moulded?

Nope, he sanded, and cut up a helmet. There's a link in another post. Cheers, DP, these are good.
