These shots are from my latest addition to my in wall bookshelf (built it
myself to cover a large hole in the wall that was left after a smaller
window was installed). Each shelf has a small display of SAMs. The top
shelf is reserved for 3 original GI Joes from the 60's and 70's.
I will try to send photos of the other shelves in the future.
The look I was going for was of an Airborne trooper linking up infantry during Operation Market Garden (not sure if they were in a wooded area). He is the point man and sees something suspicious ahead, so he squats down and gives the "halt" sign. I painted the weapons following techniques on the site. I bleached and dyed the infantry uniforms to match the true colors using a tip from the custom page of the site. The guy in the middle now has a cool leather sling for his Garand (not pictured). I only wish that I had a cool backdrop to show off instead of the painted wood, maybe someone can give me a tip. -- Koso |
