Ralph, thanks mate.
Thanks for the info Steven, and you don't need to wait too long to see them painted :tongue-out3:
Hi Steve, yeah they are insane. And your eyesight is good. Some of them have caps, some bare heads, some even have binoculars in their hands :dizzy:
Hi Paul, not sure if you could call that a walk in the park, not really a great figure painter myself. I must admit I enjoyed it though ^^. Thanks chap
Si, always good to have some challenge ey. You will be served Sir.
So, the crew are painted and put in place. I decided to use five. I tried not to paint them in a too uniform way. So some of them are wearing darker shade leathers, while others have the light grey U-Boot jacke for maintenance crew. Some variation in the caps as well. One guy is just wearing his hair. :smiling5: Two chaps are looking through their binoculars trying to spot enemy vessels, while one of them (Herr Kaleu - Captain Lieutenant perhaps?) is looking at a map.
I used Humbrol enamel paints. figures all received two highlights, some shadows where painted as well. Quite subtle really, especially since you won't see too much with the naked eye.
I added a tootpick just to show the size.
One photo is of the work in progres with the basic color tones in place but no highlights/shadows yet. Shows a bit the insane detail on these figures.
Hope you guys like it a bit. I sure enjoyed painting these buggers. Will be a good preparation for Yamato's crew
