"Der Stier von Scapa Flow"

[Joe55]

Greetings all!

Just finished Andrea Miniatures Gunther Prien in 90mm, and personally I don't think it looks like him, but what the heck!

I did him up using Andrea, Vallejo, and Jo Sonja acrylics. This project was about 2 weeks of fun and now I'm thinking, ...... well now what do I do!

You got it Ralph!

Only since I posted that, I got a wild hair and decided to convert the Tamiya 2 1/2 ton truck to a short wheel base and hard cab version. Lets see how it goes.

You can bet that there is another figure or bust on deck soon though !

Xenofon,
Bob

Thanks guys for looking him over and commenting!

John, Thanks for your comment. I tried to reveal just a bit of wear on principally the knee and bottom edge of the leather pants. Probably hard to see in the photo, but I also added mix of matt medium and Future to impart a little sheen.

Wow Joe, lighting and shadows are incredible! Great work all the way round this beauty, awesome!

Cheers, Ski.

I really like the subdued and realistic tones you used in this guy Joe. Assume your figure on deck is not on a u-boat deck?

 

[Joe55]

Thanks Ski! Glad you like the way he turned out.

Thanks Colin!

Actually, you are looking at a segment of a U-Boats aft bridge deck.
