Reading the Newspaper

[Guest]

painted this lovely 1/35 figure up today. I was going to put him with the UHU but the Amarican soldiers I did to go with are in winter clothing so it wouldn't fit. However, I might still go with this one as I am not too happy with the GIs so I may repaint them fo another project coming soon.


Anyway, not great but a good sculpt and it will look OK from six feet away.....

Well, it isn't really green I did it dark yellow with a view to dry rushing it with a light colour to make him blond. I then thought that was being racist stereotypical so I went over it with brown. Not sure why it appears a bit green in the pics.


Thanks for all the comments guys

Nicely painted Graham it looks good from here. The pose with out the paper got me chuckling a little as I had an image of him sat on the karzee and holding a length of loo roll and thinking cripes is that all I have got.

I like the details! Not too much to say about a very good job!

Beautifully painted Graham and so quick! , you only got this a few days ago. I couldnt paint a face like that if I took all year! If you cant get a newspaper you could say hes a fisherman and title it 'the one that got away'!! cheers tony

great job ,Graham,real like the colors you have used,and very well done with his eyes,


he looks great,very well done,


if you used the Vallejo,dark German yellow,that's why you would have the green tint in his hair,


as its more green than yellow,and that's why I don't use as a base fore German armor

No it was scale 75 for both yellow and brown. I think it is just the picture because you cannot see any green in real life

Thanks Tony, long way to go to get them right but I am happy with this chap. I am trying to develop a quick, simple and repeatable system for painting 1/35 figures because if I am going to develop my diorama building, I need to be able to knock them out to an acceptable standard. He will not be reading a newspaper because it would hide the very nicely sculpted figure. I know what I want him to be doing but not worked out quite how to make it look right yet but getting there

He looks fab especially like his face.
