Just a little update to show mainly the work being carried out on the third figure which is the one on the left as you view it, i will be sculpting him wearing a sheepskin jacket and officers breaches with officers marching boots to add to the variety of the three figures. the Kar98 is nearly finished and i will take a moulding of it at this stage to finish it off.

Started work on figure #2 and #3 now and this is how they will appear compsition wise in the final result. The middle figure will be wearing a custom tailored leather jacket over his panzer wrap. I havent decided a pose or cloathing combination for the third figure yet but im contemplating having him as an anti-tank man carrying a panzerfaust or possibly a artillary officer, not decided yet.

This is a figure i started during the end of the napoleonic couple and is primarily sculpted in SuperSculpey(Polymer clay). There are some major benefits to using Polymers over epoxy putties the main one being the very long time you have to work with the putty without it hardening. I worked the upper body in several sessions over a week period without hardening the putty.
The theme behind this sculpt will be a two or three figure vignette showing German troops recce-ing there defensive position ready for a Russian offensive. This is the first of the three figures and i will try to make uniform variation between all three figures to add interest.
Still a couple of little things to finish on the figure including belt buckle, mp40 etc.
