Alpine Miniatures - LAH in Kharkov

[cybergrenadier]

Happy new year to ya all

For 2013 I've taken the new-year's resolution to no more give-up my modelling projects and bring them to completion whatever happens during the painting process. Rather challenging hey? Anyway we'll see...

I've started the year with that nice classic from Alpine; the head is swapped for another Alpine one to get the opportunity to bring some colors with the soft-peak cap. The head and scarf are close to completion now and I hope to switch soon on the black panzer wrap. Hopefully I can keep you posted next week

Cheers

Thx to ya all for your your encouraging messages The scarf is almost there now; yet a few refinements and I'll be done.

@ James : drawing straight and parallel lines isn't this difficult so far; all you need is a very sharp brush and a lot of patience :laugh:

Yeah, and a souffle is just eggs. :laugh: I am not sure I could get the scarf's pattern tight with a decal!

I"m in awe over how the lines intersect on the scarf, the way the colors blend, just like real textiles.

I would give my right arm to be able to paint a scarf like that!!!!

Well, this is great work, the scarf is just amasing also the color, this will be great figure. Keep up the good work!

Any update on this figure ?

 

[cybergrenadier]

Hi all ; this is my annual update

Well after a very long pause of almost a year, I've decided to restart working on that one, with firm intention to finish it soon (pffff, who will believe that ??)

That's a shame but I've finally decided to remove the Burberry scarf and repaint it in a mere buff which will I think integrate much better the overall color scheme ; it's likely I'll repaint the bino in black to balance the contrast with the scarf new color.

I've tried to take shots illustrating my painting technique ; the left side is finished while the right is still in construction.

Hope to update you soon with further progress

Cheers
