WIP Alpine Waffen SS set #35168

[1969]

Wow Roger this is really good, looks like your inner German is finally coming out
How do you find the Rafhael brushes ? I love them and have been using them for years.

I think it looks great .looking at a 1/35 figure is like looking at a person from a distance so I feel it is very convincing.nice!

Thank you.

Well I like it Roger .
The dirt has got rid of the starkness.

Thanks very much Steve. I always have had some inner German but it was restricted to pre-1918, however I'm now realising what I'm missing out on.
I'm loving the Raphael brushes too but am restricting their use to where they are really needed as opposed to using them to slap paint on willy nilly,

Thanks Ralph. I think I've got over being a bit disappointed in myself and will crack on with what should be a nice little dirty vignette.

Figure No.2.
Ignore the face that is still very much work in progress but I'm much happier with the way the helmet cover has turned out compared with Fig. No.1.

Well 'Mr Versatile' I'm sold on the helmet , very convincing camo.

Cheers Ken

Thanks very much Ken.
I've been saying to myself for the past year or so that there is so many subjects and manufacturers that I really must try, so now I'm doing something about it.
Really pleased that I gave Alpine a shot.

Always expect the unexpected.
I'm back at sea so unfortunately it's going to be awhile before there is any further progress.

Hi Roger,
Stumbled across this post, appreciate how you're getting a great looking result but also noticing the great quality of detail in these 1/35th Alpine figures as well. Just wanting to check that this chap is definitely a German and not a Greek fellow dressed as a German?

Cheers Chris.
The funny thing is when I was researching this I came across the website of some Greeks who reenact WWII Germans..... so you never know.

Lovely job on the helmet.

Steve

Thanks Steve, hopefully the smock will be as good.
