Digital Sculpts - German Officer in Heer Uniform 200730

[Pinky]

Looks good.  The breast pocket flaps are a bit overdone, but otherwise it captures the right look.  Of course, the whole crew wouldn't have pistols.

Enjoy!

They look good. I quoted your post so the picture appears on this page.

Preview of a 3-men US crew for our M10/M36 Tank Destroyer.

The same size as all our other figures BUT WILL FIT on our vehicles
without scaling them down! Still a work in progress...





Enjoy!

Not completely convinced about these. Are they one piece figures?

These are basically one piece figures, except for the head.  Only the head and
the shoulder will show outside of the M10/M36 turrets.  The current sculpts
are what we called "raw" sculpt, without machine tooling info added to them.

Once applied, some of the details will disappear.  That's why some features
are exaggerated to keep some of the features to remain after the tooling
process.

There are still some details that need to be adjusted, but the overall sculpt is
completed.

Their jacket zippers and shirt /coverall buttons are overscale. The sleeve cuffs , collars and bottoms of the tanker jacket, the elasticized fabric, is also overscale. The rest of the figures look  good otherwise, especially the tanker helmets

[Pinky]

The proportions on these do look a bit odd - even allowing for the usual 28mm exaggeration.  The figure in the middle has no neck.  The fingers on all of them look weird too.

Tank Destroyer crews often wore steel helmets because the tanker helmet provided no ballistic protection and sitting in an open-topped turret was pretty dangerous.  So having at least one with a steel helmet would add some variety.

Following on from Pinky's comment, when you do a Commonwealth crew, can we have a steel helmet option for similar reasons?

Has anyone got any good photographs of the helmet. Is it the same as the para helmet?

Forget to post this up yesterday...

Ooops, forgot to post yesterday!  Not sure about British tank crew helmets, need to look them up later tonight.

There is a section in the book British Tanks in Normandy about protecting tank commanders.

These British crew figures look much better than the Americans.  The chap in the middle looks very much like Michael Caine (and the middle US crew figure is not unlike Telly Savalas).  It would add some variety if one of them was holding a shell.  And, as others have mentioned, these crews often wore the British tanker helmet - and even normal British steel helmets.
