Military Armoured Vehicles & Warfare Army Life - AFV NEWS

My first step is to prepare a German Control Center kit from DML. Here I've assembled the table and one of the figures to make sure his pose is good. The chairs that came with the kit are really bad. Since they're so simple I'm going to make my own using brass wires.

This kit is a partial rehash of an older DML figure set, and one of the rehashed figures doesn't quite look right in this new setting. The right hand used to be holding the strap of his rifle but now it looks weird. I have the previous kit and you can see in the pic below the original pose. I plan to give him a new arm. The head poses of all the figures may also need to be adjusted once I find out how to place the figures on the dio. I still haven't received my ordered MiniArt kits yet

Thank you, Alexander (Kolche), AFV News, and Raistlin, for your warm welcome. I look forward to years of fun on AFV News!

I worked a bit on the 4th figure, the guy holding a file folder kind of thing. I think the gap between the folder and his body is too large for a relaxed pose, so I shaved off the high points on the body to get a closer fit. I'll need to fill in the gaps later.

For the guy holding the phone, the fit of the hand, phone, and ear is not good. I had to bend his wrist (the white line in the pic is from bending the plastic) so that the ear piece is flush against his ear. I also cut the tips of his fingers and thumb so that I can sculpt them later to hold the phone snugly.
