da12thMonkey 1943 Posted March 29, 2005 Marvellous work mate. A huge improvement on WW2EC's last British infantry model, and I thought those were already quite good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fab. 0 Posted March 29, 2005 Looking good, new para's coming too? Thanks for the comments Yeah even if the paras didnt fight on the part of Caen we're workign on at the moment, it would be a shame not to do them... So new paras soon, I'll also do some work on the U.S and germans too so they can start to look like descent wwII infantry... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fab. 0 Posted March 29, 2005 Looks great!Those could pass for WW2 Canucks as well. hehe indeed i'm gonna do canadians too... canadians had their good share of fighting around caen,... all i have to do is replace this mkII helmet by a mkIII (i read that canadians had mkIII "d-day" helmets more often than mkIIs @ orson : hey nice to see you too, havent seen you in ages lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AKM 0 Posted March 29, 2005 May also want to add a field dressing tucked underneath the netting of the helmet, and switch around the STEN-mag and BREN-mag pouches for some rifle bandoliers and magpouches for the .303 clips as well. A'la H&D-2, it's a surprisingly good reference for this kinda thing. Some scrim on that helmet net and you're good to go. Damn, these look fine. I look forward to the release, top-notch work.

DKM Jaguar 0 Posted March 29, 2005 Looks damn amazing..really great detail. If you're making the weapons I could help out with some Bren pics, I have a Mk1 lying about somewhere.. Erm.. deactivated of course. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fab. 0 Posted March 29, 2005 @ AKM : yeah the helmet & co isnt finished yet. I probably wont do any riffle pouches since the bren pouches aka "basic pouches" were issued to pretty everybody (= they're not only for bren gunners but for infantry in general). as i say on the ww2ec news page, i still have a lot of equipment to sort out... these guys here just have the entrenching tools, basic pouches and webbings, but no worries it'll be there pretty soon For references i uses osprey men at arms magazines... they're pretty good and most of the time very detailed (giving precise refenrece like equipment year of issue etc...) @ DKM Jaguar : we're indeed going to redo the weapons, some will be replaced, some will just have a paint job (like the stens). Bren ref pics would be nice indeed the more we have the better job we'll do Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I probably wont do any riffle pouches since the bren pouches aka "basic pouches" were issued to pretty everybody (= they're not only for bren gunners but for infantry in general). True 'nough. Besides, most riflemen toted BREN mags anyways, it was the section weapon. They did carry a lot of gear in general though, and general pouches, as you said, are exceedingly common. They can also be attached to the rear of the webbing, and stacked up on the front, two on two - This might be interesting to see on "Loaders" and the gunners themselves. I also have a set of the same webbing used during WW2; canteen, harness, two general pouches, and the belt. Just don't have a camera, since my sister ("Sister.") flung the damn thing down the stairs. Doesn't look like you need more reference pictures for the rig though; it's looking damn fine. Just looking for a V-42 or a Fairbyrn-Sykes, since there's no point to a Lee Enfield bayonet without the SMLE, something I probably shouldn't be allowed to own. If anyone knows where I can pick up a FS inside Canada, let me know. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Metalmalte 0 Posted March 30, 2005 they look a bit to clean there is missing some, let's say mud and dirt on the uniforms... and i think, it looks some comic-like ur still using call of duty faces? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AKM 0 Posted March 30, 2005 I am fairly sure that at some point, either here or on the WW2EC site, he mentioned they'd be getting a bit of mud and dirt. The battledress looks... well, too well-fitting. Perhaps loosen it up, wrinkle a little. Other than that and some minor points of contention, damn fine work.

Yes they will be getting a bit more muddy in time to come, these guys look like they are fresh out of training. Later on they will look like the toughest muddiest S.O.Bs ever!! sim (wwIIec Staff) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
