More work? Hi. To me, the painting of this figure is excellent , very clean. And that's probably where you can add a bit. I suppose the jacket in made of leather: I would put more life in the material, "weather" it in other words. I would certainly increase the contrast between the shadows...

German green Hi. I suppose the figures you mention are these 4 german soldiers at the back of a Panther? They all wear the fieldgrey uniform, with a pair of stone grey trousers for the one in the foreground , who also has a camouflaged helmet cover. All these troopers belong to the regular...

New lace Excellent choice, and a very original one. She is not really a beauty, but she looks very "XVIIIth century", like these women who would live with the pirates or the armies during a campaign. She also make me think of Hogarth, the great english artist. By the way, if you have sculpted...

German uniforms Germania Hi. A little search on Internet gave me some details about the jacket of these figures: it is described as "SS pattern M 1936 field service uniform". Tome ,it looks like this jacket has retained some features found on the Reichswehr uniform. The fieldgrey would...

Hello Hugo. Regarding the figures you want to paint,I would suggest to get some books about the Waffen SS. I read several times that,although they also used army items, their uniform was of a different shade of fieldgrey. I have seen colour photographs of SS jackets, and the fieldgrey has...

Matte or not Hello Tetedenoeud! I had to face the same question when I used oil painting for the first time. From my experience, I would say that no colour is matte in itself. It all depends on how thin your coat is (and the enamel coat before), how you have "worked" the oil colour before...

Hello Very good job indeed. The W.SS patterns are extremely convincing, both of them:"peas pattern 43/44 " and the one used on the helmet and Tarnjacke.Now shall I be a tiny bit critical: I would alter the brightess of the fieldgrey, either on the abandonned helmet on the ground, which at this...
