My first figure in many many moons!

[Dragunov]

Hi all,

Yesterday I've started to paint a figure. It's the Alpine miniatures German Panzer crew with puppy. Inspired by Bob and Laura's SBS on painting a figure, I've started painting,playing with colors, paints etc. In the end it should be the loader of my StuH42.

It is far from finished, so every comment is welcome!

The body;

The body with more puppy detail;

The heads:

Comments tips etc. welcome! Thanks for looking

Hi All!

Thanks for the comments, and just like Bob said I get an ever growing appreciation for figure painters! I have a lot to learn but having a lot of fun "playing" with the colors.

I've was working on the face and putting more highlights of flesh tones on it, and decided it was time for the eyes. The face ended up with Kermit the frog likes eyes, and to make it worse one eye was bigger then the other

So I ended up cleaning the face to start over again.

Here is the result from todays work, the face need some more highlights, but it doesn't look to bad (from a distance and with dimmed lights )

Thanks for looking!!

The lighting isn't good, but from what I can see, it looks pretty good to me.

Hi Erik,

The figure is looking really good .

Same for me too I would like to see more of the head .

The facial highlights have been picked up pretty well even in low light photo.
