Is there anyone here that could hold a weapon like this?

And here he is in he's prime(r)

Tried out some pigments on guy nr.1

Looks great I think the work on the hand on the PPSH was fantastic

VERY nice! good catch on the thumb, I would have likely over looked that.

Thanks Andy it was not so difficult but it makes alot of difference on the look.
here is guy nr.1 after some skintreatment, i also gave him a hardhat for protection.

added some wash with Mig brown wash to the edges of the clothes and around the hands and neck after this photo, it needs to dry a little then i hope it looks good.

Aaaarrggg Alpenzusjes TERROR! :evil: :laugh:

Hey,this one is getting better and better,Mats!
I like the use of pigments,it can really blend in with the soil.
Are you going to do a base with some dirt on it?[think that would be cool]


Greetings,Ron.

Thanks Ron I'm planning to use these guys together with the T-34, that i will build in the cold steel campaign later.
Ok no more terror >

Started to paint the skin on guy nr.2

And tried to take some pics with a background to get some action with the first guy, but it was difficult

More work to be done today so update later tonight :Hiay

I think you're doing fine Mats,

 

[reconron]

I like it,Mats!
It remembers me a bit of these background pictures, F Verlinden did in the older Tamiya catalogues.

Greetings,Ron.

Did some work on guy No 2 and i call them done! Difficult to take the decission on when to stop.
Here is the first one.

and he's comrade (still a little shiny from the wash)

Hope you like them, i learned some new things with shadows and highlights.
And i'm gonna continue to get better at painting figures (i must because a big part of my stash is dragon and Masterbox figures!)
