Model Armour

Dear Friends,

Recently I finished a Panzer II in Kharkov, soon I will post pictures in this forum, to accompany it, I decided to include one of this Verlinden Classic and nice figure kit:


For prepare it, I add a Tamiya's MP-40 and shovel, both very fine and accurate for the scale, the rest is from the original Verlinden kit, only needs a few of putty in the joint in the trousers with the parka, and this is ready to paint.


After a black primmer, I start to paint it with airbrush, all the uniform is fieldgrey, and in this case, this is a great way to do it, I use the Andrea's set of Fieldgrey, and with this base color paint it the base color:


For the lights and shadows, I use the specific colors in the set, for lights I airbrush from above, and the same way for the shadows from below.
Finally I retouch all with the paintbrush, in the trousers I apply two filters to change the colors with the Parka wih earth colors. The face is paint with Vallejo acrylics:


The equipment is paintd also with Velljo acrylics:


It's important to try distinguish the different materials, like leather, metal or cloths.


The MP40, was painted with humbrol Black Matt and burnished with graphite powder, for finnish I apply two washes with black acrylic ink:




For finish, I paint little details like the neckerchief, the blood in the hand, etc. The general wathering was did with watersoluble pencils and acrylics earth colors:










And this is all, I hope you like it.

Best Regards.

Joaquin.

Hi Joaquin,

excellent figure painting, a good figurine enhanced with a cracking paint job
You have dealt with all the field grey in a very subtle way and it looks really good.

Nice one

That is very nicely done indeed. How did you paint the fur?

Rob

Hi my friends,

Thanks a lot for your kind comments to my figure, efecctively I try to di it the most realistic possible as I can do it.

About the fur, I start to paint it with a mix of Vallejo Acrylics 986 Deck Tan, 976 Buff and 951 White, I apply washes with Vallejo Ink, Sepia and Black, once dry, with drybushing with 951 white and 858 Ice Yellow.

And this is all.

We keep in touch.

Best Regards.

Joaquin

Thankyou - I appreciate that - I'll try that technique

Rob

Beatiful job, Joaquín; I receive your book yesterday, so, I hope finish to read it and then I can paint figures like you...that's all the trick, is not? Just reading the book?
