WW2 1/6 Scale Figure - 501st Parachute Infantry Regiment - Battle of the Bulge (Part 1)

Hello, everyone! This is my first custom work here on the channel. It's a 501st Infantry Regiment paratrooper in the Battle of the Bulge. At the end of the video, I show how I made the wooden base to display the figure. I hope you like the result.

Did you dye your coat because I really want to dye mine, but I'm worried I will rowen it?

[@biginjapanminiatures]

Hello!
I didn't dye the coat, its color is original from the factory. I weathered the coat with pastel chalk, only.
For weathering the figures' clothes, I recommend you practice on other fabrics until you get the hang of it. 👍🏻

Why didn’t you make “D” bales? Wouldn’t that have been more appropriate?

[@biginjapanminiatures]

Hey mate, thanks for comment. When I made this customization on the M1 helmet, adding a fixed bale, at the time I had searched many photos of paratroopers in the November 1944 period. In fact, the correct thing would be for me to add a flexible bale to the helmet, considering that most paratroopers received new M43 equipment. Also there was a lot of complaint that “D” bale and fixed bale helmets broke easily. Soon they were replaced by flexible bale. Anyway, I put a fixed bale because it was more comfortable for me, but I want to customize another figure using a “D” bale on M1 helmet (as a pre jump). Once more, thanks for asking… appreciate it. keep watching.

That's impressive! This video explains a lot. I'll be using it as ideas for future projects. I hope you continue making many more tutorials!

[@biginjapanminiatures]

Next time, I'll try to make differently tutorial videos. I think if I use only recording can get better

Hello. great work, I love it. I would have liked to know where you bought the herbs you used. I searched the internet and I can't find it! could you have given me an internet link. I thank you in advance. greetings.

Hey buddy, how is it going?
I bought it at the store called Seria, here in Japan. The store looks a dollarama franchise. They do not sell any products online, probably… 😞
Cheers

That is pure patience and dedication right there! Really great work^^

[@seanpowell9928]

That grass you use is exceptional, does that brand have a website by chance? Would love to get my hands on that in Canada.

[@biginjapanminiatures]
