I agree. That's a nice looking bunch. I like the Ranger Captain the best though.

Re: Some of my American customs revisited

I love your pics, one bit of constructive criticism. Try not to make all your figures look like their leaning on something. Try to make all the gear, clothing, and helmet straps droop down. Helmets are heavy, make sure they are seated on the head better. Try the best you can to put yourself in the place of the figure. Heck, I even pose myself before I pose a figure. I can get a better idea of what looks natural that way. Also, take not of the wrinkles in the pants and the colors of the tunics. Looks at period photos and try to make them appear as if they wrinkle and lay the same way. Just a bit of constructive criticism. You know, to help you be the best modeler you can be!

For example: "Just Chillin"

I acted out the part before I tried to display the figure. I tried to make the wrinkles look like their not defying gravity. I love all your pics, the one obvious flaw is that your figs always appear to be leaning on something. Otherwise, weathering looks great, uniforms look great, ect... Carry on and keep them pics coming!!!

Re: Some of my American customs revisited

Hi Fly Boy I want you to know that I value all comments from board members. I use those comments to help to improve all of customs that I build because I want my figures to be as realistic and historically correct as possible . Again thanks for the help.
