Headsculpt

Here is pic of the headsculpt I am using. I need to redo the pupil reflection and I'm also wondering if the complexion is too dark? Anybody wanna guess what sculpt/mfg it is?

Djellabah redux ver.3

I found some striped cotton cloth and dyed the background a darker brown. I like the look of this pattern and it drapes well. The thicker cloth I used for the last version is synthetic and difficult to work with.

I found some material with a more accurate pattern and color scheme. Unfortunately it is a little too thick. At least I am getting a little bit closer to what I want it to look like!

Djellabah, the Goumier's trademark cloak

Here's is my first attempt at a djellabah. I am happy with the shape and the fit. Upon further research I have found that the pattern on the material would not be accurate for a WWII era Goumier in combat. I am going to try to find some more appropriately patterned cloth tomorrow.

Days of Glory

There is a film from a couple of years ago called Days of Glory. The French title is Indigenes. It is the story of some Goumiers and their experiences in WWII. Click here to view the website. It has some nice pix!
