Completed Critique Evolution`s Resting Soviet Soldier 43-45

[Andyfettes]

Hi all, following inspiration gleaned from Marina`s awesome figure, I finally complete mine

All in either Vallejo or Andrea acrylics

I hope you like him and of course comments are very welcome

Andy

PS I cant take photos to save my life so you`ll have to excuse that I`m afraid

Lovely work......

Excellent work Andy.
Carl.

 

[Gaudin]

Very nice.
I must say I prefer this version, more natural, loving the dirt, colour of the sack is spot on and face looks good.

Could a star on the hat show more red perhaps?

With regards to taking pictures I would suggest visiting Sergey Popovichenko's blog - he got an invaluable article on taking pics there

 

[Andyfettes]

Funky, Carl, and Guadin thank you very much for your comments and for the photo blog advice I shall certainly give that a look.

As for the star, I did read ( somewhere ), the colour was changed to a drab tone from 43 onwards but I will recheck that,...good point though !

Thanks once again, Andy.

Footnote: read some of that blokes blog,what an artist ! didnt catch the photography bit though I shall have to read more

By the way the photography looks pretty good to me.....

[Andyfettes]

Hey Funky, I actually took that shot with my phone camera not bad but lacks clarity sadly, I shall have to persevere !

Cheers bagelman !
