WIP Critique Alpine And Mantis Miniatures German Panzer Crew Eastern Front.

[Carlos69]

Hi Gents,Please view my latest works.1/35th scale German panzer crew for my latest Darius Tiger wedgie

The standing figure is by Alpine slightly converted with A Roger Saunders head,Photo etch Knights cross and headset and wiring added... also the bino' lense cover added to the rear of the figure. He is about there just needs matting down and weathering to the lower half.
He is the nicest figure in 35th to date that I have painted ... Taesung is a master and more so when it comes to winter clothing

The seated tankie is Mantis Miniatures latest release,I added the headset,wiring,and scarve under his polo neck sweater... also replaced the head with a Taesung job as it suited the purpose well ... I need to complete the headgear and insignia,face,throat mic and scarve.

Both are painted in oils and need dullcoting also.All insignia is hand painted .

Soon to be mounted up on the Tiger Turret which is now complete.

Comments and critique welcome thanks !

Need to paint the the Iron cross also just noticed !

 

[Carlos69]

Sorry for the large images ?! not pretty !!

[Carlos69]

Images took with my I-phone as my camera does not like taking images of light/white paint ! this is the closest to how the colours appear in the flesh,not great quality but you can get the idea.

Cannot wait to mount these up finally !

Are these figures looking at each other?
Excellent work on both. The way you handled the off-white
jacket and white pants is quite exquisite. Very subtle and yet
effective tone changes.

 

[Tommy's War]

Nice work Carlos, the guy in the whites is, in my opinion, your best face yet. Having seen the Panzer in real life I can confirm that it's even better in the flesh and simply jaw dropping.

Will this be travelling to Folkestone next month?

 

[Carlos69]

Pedro thanks good buddy !

Ken cheers pal ! you will be to busy to be looking around though ?!

Teasung thanks alot ! Man you making me happy : ) the seated figure will sit in the Tiger Cupola and the standing figure stands slightly in front to the left,so they are both looking in the same direction to there right. Maybe looking at the T-34 wrecks in the distance ?!

Darren thanks buddy for the kind words,amongst others this is coming down with us : )

I have finished these now,just waiting for them to dry so I can dullcote them and mount them up !

Thanks for the feadback guys

Carlos
