Bunker: Battle for Normandy - Page 4

Ahh, very cool. I will snuff out the eagle today. I also have to change his pockets. His helmet is done also, I will post that a little later. Then on to the rest of his gear. This is the base german rifleman, so there will be a bunch of head/face and body variations you can choose from.

Here he is, some detail on him. Tell me what you think, or if you see anything out of place:

That face is scary.
Uniform looks ok, maybe take the Gefreiter strip off his arm or every German will be an NCO.
They were worn on the LEFT arm only.

Have a look at this link for German uniform colours etc.

You call my face scarey and you posted that pic?

hehe. Kidding. I hope its not a relative or something. Good ref on the hairstyle.

I guess you gave me just too much info on the uniforms. When I look at those pages I see so many combinations. Are you able to pick one uniforms and say "Here, this is what a German Rifleman just starting out as a Private would be wearing." If not no worries.

So you are saying that the strips on his shoulder he shouldnt have, or the rank on his arm? Sorry again, I just don't know much about it, but I will.

Thanks!

Great looking game

Bunker,
Sorry for any confusion.
I'd keep the German soldier nice and simple just like the painting on my post #30. You can even leave off the Iron Cross ribbon on his button if you like.
That photo in post #32 was just one off that site I linked to, no worries.
What I meant by scary is how realistic a computer image can look nowdays.
Good luck with the game.

Ok, I think I gotcha. So take off the rank from the sides of his arms, so the arm is bare. But I can leave the Strips on the top of his shoulders. If I still have it wrong maybe you can PM me ?

A range of different uniforms here.

Nazi Germany had probably the finest range of uniforms

nice site! ty.

For the german riflemans gear so far I have some Kar ammo, MP40 ammo, a gas mask canister. I was also thinking a small bedroll. What else do you recommend, if anything? There is one black 'box' with a strap on it vertically that I am unsure of what it is, or if he should have it.

That would be the cleaning kit for the MG 34 & MG 42, leave it off.

German military equipment

Don't worry about the green bag.
