Acrylics DRAGON 1/16 Wehrmaht UnterOffizier (Easctern Front 1943)

[Burak]

Hello again everybody! That's my new figure, it's plastic and 1/16 scale. I used acrylics. I am waiting for all of your comments!

I know that its eyes aren't good but i am working on it.

And his hand;

Burak.

I like the flesh tones a lot, especially considering you are using acrylics. Looks a lot like its done in oils. I think the eyes have that crazed look to them. You need to narrow them a bit. Put in a eye lid above and a little below them, or perhaps just a wash around them to outline the eye a bit.Don't use pure white for the eyes, use an off white or a light flesh tone. I love that face, probably my favorite of the Dragon 1/16th kits.
Cheers
Jason

Indeed, a very nice flesh tone. I'm curious about your technique, because it looks quite like oils...

In addition to Jason's remarks, maybe add a bit more contrast in the deep shadows: folds around the nose, eye sockets and below the lower lip. The latter will make him look even more tough I think.

I look forward to your progress. I'd recommend that you try and avoid the glossy finish for the uniform. If you have any trouble with that, just add a bit of Tamiya X21 (matt varnish) to every colour mix.

Cheers,
Adrian
