I have been working since January on a Krupp Steyr Waffentrager and to add some life to the scene I decided to add a few figures. They are Legend LF0098(3551)
Very nice figures nice sharp details. And poses that matched exactly what I looked for and fitted the vehicle.
After cleanup came primer.
And then I usually start with the fleshtones... Same goes for these figures.
I eventually found the guy with the sidecap to be a bit too smooth so I gave him stubble on the head and 5 0'clock shade with some prussian blue oilpaint. Giving him a bit more serious character. Also as you can see I started work on the black panzer uniform.
Base of the of the black uniform is matt black with some flesh mixed through it. For the highlights I gradually mixed in more fleshtone and only used pure black in diluted for for the shadows.
And then it was time for the little details. The piping in the pink Waffenfarbe, The medals and insignia in silver or white on a black base. Painting the leather work with Darkbrown oilpaint wash over sandcolor enamel base. Scuffing the noses of the shoe by wiping off the oilpaint locally with a wet brush.
I don't have much pictures of the sitting figure but the process was pretty much the same here he is nearly finished.
As Always looking forward to any form of feedback
