My 1/6 Band of Bros works in progress

[Ryan1982]

I've been working on some of the figures from the HBO mini series The Band of Brothers lately. I came across the sculpts by Francis Tavares and thought I would have a go at making some of the charactors from the series. Thought I would post my progress on the figures I am working on for any of you that are interested

The only one I have 100% completed so far is Carwood Lipton played by Donnie Wahlberg.

Looks amazing. Can't wait to see what you do with the others.

Sgt. John Martin Played by Dexter Fletcher.
Still need a couple more pieces to finish this one out as well as weather him and he should be finished.

A pic of Martin with Lt. Spiers (Matthew Settles). Just wanted to show the headsculpt of the Speirs on this one. The body the Spiers head is on will eventually be a Sgt. Bill Guarnere.

This will be a Bastonge version of Sgt Lipton. Still need some rigger pouches to fill him out as well as the Wahlberg/ Lipton headsculpt. Using the Spiers headsculpt as a filler until the Lipton headsculpt is painted and ready.

And one of Col. Sink played by Dale Dye

Not a BOB charactor but I thought I would share it as well. Capt. Fred Hamill from Saving Private Ryan played by Ted Danson. A bit of an obscure charactor but I loved his appearance in SPR and Francis had a sculpt available so I had to attempt this one.

Excellent work on all your figures Ryan!

Where do you get your clothing and gear?

 

[Ryan1982]

Thanks guys for the comments!

Ill- I get the uniforms and gear from the various 1/6 sites such as MonkeyDepot, WarToys, ToyAnxiety, EchobaseToys, ToySoldierBrigade etc.

The uniforms are all Newline Miniatures. They make the best Airborne uniforms in my opinion along with the Jump boots. The mussette bags and harness are Battlegear Toys. Everything else is either Dragon or DID military accessories

Thanks Ryan!

I am looking for a suitable Uniform for my Saving Private Ryan Capt. Miller (Hanks). I've been looking for Dragon Mike Connolly, but can't find one anywhere. I'll check those places and see if I can find what I need.

If you are looking for a good Miller uniform, search ebay or those stores I mentioned for a BBI "Vince" jacket and pants. They were the best I was able to come across when I made my Miller figure.
Here's a link to my completed Miller as well as a parts list I used to make him.

Really cool, I don't get into the military figures much but love the ones based off movies. Love the first base, very simple.

These are EXCELLENT! Great to see a Lt Spiers. Love that one. All are super. Great job and super respect to a great show, and some (ultimately) REAL hero guys for a change!

Great figures! Great mini series too!!

 

[Ryan1982]

Thanks for the comments! I bought the box set of the series a few months ago and have been obsessed with it since. These guys were definately some "real life" heroes as Les mentioned which I think adds to the overall appeal of the series.
I still have a few more of the charactors in the works. Winters, Perconte and Luz are all coming soon as well as the ones already posted. I want to try and get most of the main charactors done so keep posted.
Thanks again!
Ryan

Putting together a Winters figure. Here's a little progress on him:
Pertty much the basic body mod. on each of the figures I have made so far. This gives them a bit of a more realistic/ natural pose. Makes them less broad shouldered/ chested. Adding the Cut up sponge helps the clothes hang on the body a little more naturally and fills them out a bit more. As you can see, the uniform holds more naturally on the body, not so stiff.
