After that I started to put some clamps together for the StuG III.

and this is the result of 4 Liters of coffee and lots of nerve relaxing food like chocolate and nuts, and sending my wife out of the man cave more then once.

I finished the first 3 of them

on to the next.

Hi all, anybody there???

It has been a long time since anybody replied to my postings.

I am now wondering if a SSIG is too long to keep people interested.

But nevertheless, I started it so I will finish I (I hope)

Here's the last update for today.

My Para's got some Camo paining and for tomorrow are shadows and highlights, but as always here are the pics.

[monica]

absolutely great work Richi, the figure paint is superb, real like your technique ,for getting death in, great work,

 

[Guest]

Im absolutely loving this thread ( I'm a full on Arnhem aficionado) . I don't post much but have been lurking around for a long time. Keep up the great work. The only comment I'd make is the scrim scarf looks too pale.

 

[Richi72]

Thank you for the compliments Moni and callmehobbes,

Can you tell me what you mean with the the scarf?

Still working on the figures and trying to get the wanted details in.

more pics tomorrow

Cheers and thanks

Richi

 

[Guest]

I am in awe of what you can do it really is something very special.

 

[monica]

it think he means the things around there necks on the guy on one knee with the pistil, and the above pics,6th up on the left,as about 3 of them are wearing ,

if thats any help to you,

i can see you still need work on them and it wont be over looked when painting in the rest,

 

[Guest]

The scrim scarves are worn around the paras necks. The colour is a darker shade of green- not sure how to describe it. Bottle green perhaps?
