Verlinden 120mm US Infantry Officer

[callmehobbes]

Im just finishing this one off. Its been on the bench for ages but have added the last of the camo, painted a head and helmet and need to just do names, badges etc. ( for a splash of colour as well as setting it firmly within a context). The plan is to have him stood by a map or planning board as though at the end of a briefing and the piece will will entitled " Any questions?".

Cheers Kurt. I need some better pics for the face but the camo has turned out okay.

Cheers. Done woodland a few times and really like painting it (almost but not quite as much as dpm and dennison!). Ive never been happy with my ww2 german camo patterns though.

Nice work on the cammo Paul, nice painting.

 

[callmehobbes]

Done a bit more. I need to find something to put on the board (ideas welcome).

Also decided to paint on the flag -decals felt a bit like cheating.

I think I would paint the board like a chalkboard and put some basic maneuver/strategy drawing on it, or print some of these out and tack it on there like a flip pad/chart. Something like these:

Yes. Cheers. A flip chart works.

Need to repaint the flag -its meant to be blue in the right top corner when worn on the right arm.
