My First Custom Figure

[YT1]

German Fallschirmjäger, sorry for the crappy iPhone pics. I need to finish a couple details and take some better pics. Any suggestions for a chinstrap?

 

[NSA]

It sucks. Stop now. Never customize again!

Hehe just kidding.. looks good.. I dont know much WWII stuff, but you're off to a good start!

 

[YT1]

Thanks. Man do those pics make me feel like I had a couple drinks, oh wait is it the pics?

 

[Midget]

They look fine to me…. (has had a couple of drinks)

 

[NSA]

Oh great, I'm the SOBER one tonight? F-THAT!

 

[Midget]

Ha ha! It is I who will call you gay for PCS tonight Mr. NSA… I mean NS-Gay!

1 CUTE CAT PICTURE!!

 

[Midget]

Fuck that cat.

I refuse to put the pussy on a pedestal anymore

Make them dirty YT1

 

[RED]

YT1 !!! I think they look pretty good brother!!! The only thing Id do is paint the rest of the FJ jumpjacket that goes between the upper legs and maybe hit both figures with some dulcoat to take away the shine!!!
You might beable to find something at Hobby Lobby in the area were they have the stuff to make necklaces and such!!! The might have something that could be used for the chinstraps---I have found stuff there to make slings for rifles before!!!---RED---

I'd just fashion a strap out of painter's tape and glue it into the helmet. That's what i did.

I like Germans!

I like girls in mud too!

They look great! Two questions, What boots did you use on the one on the right and The right one's Helmet is that a custom one or legit one?

 

[YT1]

Thanks for the tips guys. The one on the right is the one I made, the other one is the 21st version I used as reference. He is a DAK soldier with BBI modern airborne boots and a ground down 21st winter German helmet. And he has the lowers smock of one of the guys that comes with the turtle hummer.

 

[YT1]

Finished my figures and took some more pictures, I know they aren't very accurate, but I am happy with them.

Looks good to me I can't tell what you did to them.. so I suppose that's excellent work!

 

[YT1]

This was the base figure along with some bit and pieces and head swaps:

 

[lancelot]

so you made the DAK captain into an angry Fallshimjaeger officer? That's a sweet repaint! If 21st century action figures were still abundant and cheaper than they are now I'd try my hand at painting figures. What paints and brushes did you use?

 

[xxxx]

not bad at all........well done mate.

 

[YT1]

so you made the DAK captain into an angry Fallshimjaeger officer?. What paints and brushes did you use?

All three are from the DAK officer body with BBI modern airborne boots and 2 have ground down 21st winter German helmets. Those 2 also have the lower smock of one of the guys that comes with the turtle hummer. I used Tamiya paints and the same detail brush I have had for 10 years.

God, the articulation on 21st figures sucks.
