Completed Alpine's Totenkopf Grenadier...

[dancap3286]

here is my last work before MFCA. It is the latest 1/16 scale release from Mr. T @ Alpine and this one is a beauty. Great sculpt, fit and stance. The palmuster was a bitch since I really did not have too much reference on it but my client wanted it. He is as always painted in Vallejo Acrylics with Citadel paints for the metalics.

Brilliant Dan, just brilliant. The camo is expertly done! 10/10 with 10 gold stars!

Very nice work. I'm really like your camo paint!

The camo is just outstanding! love the strong touch on overall painting too!
How do you do highlighting and shadowing on camo? and Do you use black to the deepest area of each elements?

 

[Konstantin]

Perfect!

The camo looks spot on, it is a difficult pattern to recreate in scale... you have done a great job.

I'm particularly impressed by the hands. Very nice transitions... perhaps a bit strong, but I like it.

WOW! you work fast, this kit is very new out. All round oustanding painting of every part, the camo looks great, 1st rate job. I have mine cleaned up and primed but dare not start the camo.

Hi Kaz. I use black (thinned 60/40 water to paint) and black grey. For lighter colors I use black grey and for darker black.
