WIP Commander of Special troops GRU 1/35

[Venko]

I'm starting this excellent figure from Evolution miniatures in 1/35 scale-commander of GRU Spetsnaz in Afghanistan (EM-35101). Very nice figure, flawless cast, no seamlines and bubbles, simple breakdown of the parts. Now I'm gathering information about this type of uniform and will proceed with the painting, stay tuned










Cheers!

Yeah, I wanted this figure for a long time, and the "Adidas" sneakers rocks

Way to small for my eyes to cope with but that looks like a very crisp and sharp casting, I am sure you well enjoy painting him.

Starting with the face and head painting, first time using Scale75 Flesh colors set and I really like them-they blend nicely and with good consistency









Cheers!

Closer photos, I really like the facial expression and the excellent sculpt

Continuing with the base color of the Gorka suit, highlights and bleaching with mixing with lighter color:

A very nice result and a not so usual subject.I like that you have given him blond hair and mustache.It serves to give him a reasonably Slavic countenance.Well done.

Thanks!

I like the subject also, it's very interesting and pleasure to paint

 

[Venko]

Painted the Adidas sneakers and the sleeping bag (I guess). I have to make the rifle and binoculars straps, and some touch-ups on the uniform







Cheers!

Excellent, first rate painting.

 

[Venko]

Thanks!

I made the rifle and binoculars sling and also enchanced the highlights on the wrinkles of the uniform slightly, for more faded look:







Cheers!
