This week, I’m continuing what I started last week, adding to the German rocket trooper action figure.  I’m working on the head and a bit on the rocket pack today – both small sculpting projects.  I’m add a small amount of Aves Apoxie Sculpt to the heads of the figures I have to make a visor/mask combo as shown in the black and white cartoon of the film.  I have some black German WW2 helmets from the site Marauders Gun Runners that fortunately fits perfectly.

I also started work on sculpting the rocketpack. 

It doesn’t look like much yet, since I just wanted to get the basic shape down, so the next step is filing and Dremeling away to get the streamlined shape as shown in the film, then making a mold to cast it out of resin.

Thanks for listening!
