Dragon 1/16 Kampfgruppe Hansen Schutz

[HAWKERHUNTER]

Looking incredible Peter. I would love to see a time lapse video of one of your figures being painted.

[Guest]

Steve H - Morning. I wonder if the damp weather has got to your knee, or were the cat ladies just too much? Hope the Dr can do something for you. Onto the equipment today, which is the fun part. My granddaughter is going to visit a friend later, so no 'Ga Ga, up!'' interruptions.

Steve - I doubt that a video would reveal anything other than chaos. The trousers were difficult, as the paint remained shiny for much longer than usual, meaning that it was difficult to see what I was doing - must be the cold weather affecting drying times.

That's the equipment done:



I found some of the kit parts a bit below par, so as I went along I substituted better Dragon and Verlinden items.

Just the hands, weapons and base to do now.

Hi Peter
Superb as always. That cape has come out brilliantly - the folds you've painted make it look to fit really naturally.

Nice work Peter, the equipment adds a lot of detail to the figure :thumb2:

Peter.
:thumb2::thumb2::thumb2::thumb2::thumb2:Meticulous , impeccable painting, accomplished by the master.

[Guest]

Jim - Thank you. Dragon excelled themselves with this sculpt. It would be difficult not to bring out the folds on the cape.

Steven - Thanks. I love painting the equipment, though it seems to take longer these days as I struggle to bring out the detail.

John - Many thanks that man.

Morning Peter

its not raining at the moment!

Lovely work on the equipment, lots of contrasts on this figure, the waterproofs really do give it a "different look".

Just the MG 42 and hands left, then onto another one?

1/16 or a bust?

Hopefully some modelling today and its now sunny!

I'll be having a PET scan on my knee to find out what is not working along with blood tests too!

I will be nice when it doesn't ache all day long!

Enjoy finishing this one and the better weather, whilst it lasts.

Regards

Steve H

Morning Steve

Yes, just some finishing off today, then onto another Dragon figure. Cold and wet here, so bad painting light, but not too much to do. Bit of a restless night as younger daughter came home blind drunk and caused a rumpus - ''Lemme sleep on the floor! Lemme sleep on the floor!'' - appalling behaviour. Kids!

Very nicely done Peter. Think I'm looking at April 6th to get my desk back, happy days.

That really is looking very good indeed. I love the way way you've brought our the expression on his face. Keri up the good work.
