I know, the scarf setup looks better, right?
But I do not want both guys look the same.
I must make some folding into the radio operators mask to make it look more realistic.
Will do some more try-outs and see what looks best.
To be continued.

I made the scarfs out of some slices of cotton.
Made them wet and wrapped them around the faces. By making it wet, it sticks better to the faces, so you have one hand free, gets better fold-able, and you can form it a bit in the way you think it looks best.
When satisfied, and dried up, I put a white glue/water mixture onto the cotton.
Today it was dry and good enough to add a thin layer of mat grey.
I also received an email today, my antennas are on their way, together with the decals for my Typ-G Panther.
Only items missing are the goggles which will be delivered somewhere this month.
Curious how they look and if I can make 'm fit onto both faces.... :problem:
