Apologies to JohnPic but here comes some more black....

I thought I would show my first SS mannequin...a guard soldier in the Leibstandarte AH. He's not finished yet but I believe there is enough here to give you an idea of how it's coming along. I still need some more bits and pieces to finish him and the two others off.

What do you think of the mannequin? I decided to simply use a body form and construct a helmet stand on the neck block. I tend to favour this look since it is more museum-like and allows the viewer to concentrate on the uniform. I find that full body mannequins usually draw the eye up to the face...which is only human nature. Furthermore, I have yet to find a mannequin face and pose that I would be happy with as an SS guard. Opinions??
