NEAR MOSCOW DEC41 VIGNETTE 54MM

[moon puppy]

Great looking work Steiner. Not often we see figures in motion, action like this. I think you are capturing it well.

 

[Ted]

Very nice detail and excellent scratchbuilding.

Hello again,here is some progress i made the last months, i added a third figure, a shouting NCO on top of the trench and airbrushed my vignette, i hope the fotos explain the procedure i followed, any comment as always welcome, thanks for looking guys, Teo



i decided to add a third figure, the arrows explain the flow i want to create

the main frame is built on a friul skeleton

coat skirts added

helmet,balaclava hood and chinstrap added

white poncho garment sculpted and the head added

special care given to the belt area with tucked grenades

finished , minor corrections remain

posing from another angle

TRENCH AIRBRUSHING
painting begins with a coat of flat black , sandbags receive a desert yelllow coat

sandbags are masked , the woodwork receives greyish coats

ground is painted in brown hues, intentionally overspraying the woodwork

more variations added to the woodwork

shadows and hilights added following “zenithal lighting” and the base is ready for detail brushwork

the corugated panels received a mist of Tamiya metalic brown as a base for further treatment, here , a closeup on the texture

Thank you all guys for your support and comments,next time you will see the scene finished, cheers, Teo

 

[STEINER]

Finished at last, here are the fotos, i tried to portray a damp, wet and moody feeling to the scene, the slogan says in Russian “lets defend Moscow”. Thank yoy all for your constructive comments and watching my thread, Teo

 

[TREEMENDUS]

Wonderful result Teo. You have captured all the elements perfectly and must be very pleased with this one. Well done.

top notch work teo! this is a more than phantastic vignette!

 

[moon puppy]

words fail me...incredible work. Stiener you achieved exactly what you wanted. Well Done Sir!

 

[JamesOLeary]

Excellent vignette!!!!

It has everything...well sculpted figures in realistic and dynamic poses (I guess the dead guy isn't in a dynamic pose, but it is a realistic one); well thought out groundwork with trench section, expended shell casings and littered with equipment; and excellent painting of the figures and base.

I really like it.

Good job. I look forward to your next project.

 

[jknaus]

That is a fantastic vignette. The pose , painting, everything are exceptionally well done. And yes I think you pulled of the concept you wanted. The fellow waving personifies the cold damp dreariness and stress of combat. Very well done.
