Afrika

[Wesley Pauwels]

Hi people.
Here I am again... with another piece.
It's just the beginning of my newest project, somewhere in Africa.
This figure's one from warriors and the head too... It's a different one.
I'm very pleased with the sculpture of the figure.. Real nice one... Also the head. Hornet's what I'm used too... I think I'll buy some more from Warriors.
A couple of days ago I begun with the back of the jacket and that's almost done. Only the equipment to do and I can start with the trousers. Today I'll be painting the front of it, which almost need only the shadows.
I think I did well on the base. But I'm still missing something in it and I can't find out what. What do you guys think?

Any help for the base and the figure's welcome!

Best Regards
Wesley

Wesley, I think you've made a little mystake in the choice of the head. If I see well, there is an eagle on the left side, but those caps were the one of the SS and your soldier is from Whermacht.

Otherwise nice work, keep up

It also looks like an M43 cap not a DAK cap. Love the figure though, if it's stock which figure is it?

This figure comes from the 35312kit from Warrior I think.

An interesting one !

Wesley, will you paint the other figure of the kit in the future ?

Wesley,
I like the start so far. I agree with the others on the cap. I think he would look cool in a helmet with the staps hanging down. As far as the base missing something, how about a Matilda or similar Brit armor track mark under the figure. It looks as if he is stalking an armor column or something. this might emphasize that and give it a bit more intrigue as to what he is crouching and looking for. Good luck, keep us posted,
