Afrika Korps Panzer officer

Just about to finish this mate. Couple of details to be added, some corrections and take good pictures.

Quite good bust from Young Miniatures. Some problems adjusting the earphones but nothing serious.

Hope you like it

Thank you very much for your comments!!! For the uniform, I used the green AfrikaKorps tones included in the Andrea's set as a base. Then, I created my own palette in order to continue with the oils using olive green, yellow ocre, paynes grey, apple yellow and some others. I prepared 2 tones for the shadows and 3 for lights. the last light is applied with diluted sand color oil. I really liked the effect of this "ochre" palette over the green tone.

For the glasees, an acrylics base coat using black, then continue with oils: titanium white for the lights and paynes grey.

Thank you for your comment. Of course, as soon as I can, I will take some studio pictures and will show the figure in every angle.
