52nd Ensign Of Foot, Stormtroopers

[Tommi]

Hi Folks

Finally got this finished today. 90mm Resin kit from Stormtroopers sculpted by Maurice Corry.

I posted some awful pictures again and as usual all the colours are washed out and the contrast is all over the place!

I snapped off the diamond on the top of the standard and it flew off somewhere in the workshop never to be found again, I managed to make one out of a piece of 2mm platicard, looks just about the same as the original.

A few other mishap's along the way but got there in the end. I repainted all the buff facings as the were all to yellow, the flag was quite time consuming so I attacked it with the airbrush to lay in the buff base colour and some basic highlights and shadows, it still looks crap in the photos. I might get the DSLR out tomorrow to see if I can get any better results.

All painted in reaper, Andrea and scale 75 acrylics

Thanks to Stu, Mick and Ron T for help with the reference material.

Hi Mate,

This looks very nice. The Buff has come out very well.
I think Colours ( flags) can be has hard to paint as Tartan kilts.
Hands??

Ps Has the book arrived.

Thanks for all you help and advice on this one Mick, I could not have finished this one without your help mate. The book has not arrived yet, should have been here by Friday so hopefully will be here the next few days. Will need it for some future projects.
Did you get the project photos that I sent you. Now got four WW2 commission pieces to paint so the next napolionic piece will have to wait.
Cheers
Tommi

Yes got them, Don't know how you manage so many at one time,
I can only get my head around one at a time or I confuse myself.
See you at Euro

That is just dandy, Tommi, that white silk looks marvellous,without detracting from the rest of the figure. Like the green leather gloves.

Wow that's a terrific result Tomni.
You mentioned airbrushing the colours...?
Did you use a directional highlighting approach over a darker base, or just a base coat and shading by hairybrush?

[Viking Bob]

Very good result, love it.

Tommi,
Looks excellent and very tedious. Nicely displayed.
