Started painting the bust.
First i took care of the face, and helmet.
I added the specs. Specs were soldered, and glass is made using Micro Kristal Klear.

Uniform was painted to replicate the grainy look of fabric. Green- gray texture of the wool.
Glass of the mask still setting.

Stoßtruppen 1/9 - Gewehr 98

Gewehr 98 needed to be scratch built, as there's no alternative in scale.
I made the gun over 2 evenings out of wood, brass, and styrene.
It consists of 18 individual parts.

Once i sculpt the body of the bust i will cut the gun to required length to suit.
