Good Day All, Here is a figure I started this weekend. I have most of the upper half complete. This is an Alpine Miniatures 1/35th from their Vallejo paint set. It is quite a nice figure, as you would expect from Alpine. I am using mostly the colors from the set. I hope you like it. Rusty

Thanks Steve I agree the transitions on the flesh colors could use some improvement.

That turned our really well. Thanks for sharing. Rusty

This should be interesting. Looking forward to seeing this progress.

Amazing sculpt. The details are impressive. Rusty

Thanks for the comments. Yes, the backdrop is scratch built. I used plastic sheeting to lay out the shape. The bricks are plaster that I laid individually and then added the mortar. Painted in acrylic and used oils and pastels to weather.

Great work, I like the way the whole scene lays out. Rusty

Thanks for the reply. It is good to know others have trouble with Khaki. I would rather paint white, black or any other just about any color.

Here is my entry. It is from Alpine Miniatures. Painted with acrylics and the scenery is scratch built. Thanks for looking, Rusty

Thanks Gentlemen, I am glad you liked this. This was a fun project, I enjoyed making the backdrop and putting the scene together. Rusty

Here are a few photos of my latest project. It is from Alpine Miniatures. My daughter gave this to me as a Christmas gift. It is a really nice sculpt and pose, that I have wanted for sometime, but never picked up. This was a fun figure to paint, but the khaki gave me fits. I hope you like it. Rusty

Excellent work, I really like the way this turned out.

Steve, This is looking really good. I am looking forward to seeing this project come along. Rusty

Very nice, something different

Great work, I really like the camo trousers.

Gentlemen, Thanks for the comments. I am glad you like my effort. Nap, at first I had my doubts about the camo, but I am happy with the results.

Good Day All, I finally wrapped this project up. It was a fun exercise, trying new things. I feel like learned what works and what I could do better. I am sorry I am not able to take better photos. I can't seem to figure out how not to wash out the flesh tones and some of the details, but...

Good Day All, I got a little more done on the details of the uniform today. I am ready to start the flesh. Bundook, thanks for the comments on the ground work. This is my most ambitious vegetation in a project to date. I like the way it turned out. It gives the impression I was looking for...

Excellent scene, the figures and scene tell a great story. I really like this type of diorama. Rusty

Good Day All, I finally got back to work on this project. I have laid the basic camo pattern down. I still have a lot of detail work to do on the smock, adding seams and highlights, etc. As always I am open to suggestions and critiques. Rusty
