Hi Planeteers,
If you remember ( or not), I posted some weeks ago some painting on an 1/35 modified Alpine figure. It is now done yeah. The scene depicts a guy from the 3rd Spahis asking is way to a young Italian girl.
Very glad I put a final point on this project (one out of so many left open, half painted, abandonned..). I had this idea after having read a militaria magazine maybe a decade ago.I knew one day I'll have give justice to this uniform and all its fancy decorations. It just took me 15 years. I forced myself the last past days to complete the last phase (the girl and the scene). Projects usually ends in a chaos on my table, which is now fully clean, ready for another round. I must say that I had some perfectionnist thoughts for the girl dress and the walls, but I preferred finishing somehting instead of gtting lost in the limbs..
The Spahis is an Alpine figure of a US tanker https://alpineminiatures.com/imagepages/35269.html
quite modified (I had to quit the pistol holster and the binocular case, and scratch the medals and insignia). The girl is from a very nice Miniart set of civil women of WW2. The base is from Royal Model (super slick). Figures were painted in acrylics (Vallejo and AK mostly) and for the base I used Lifecolor Stone Grey set, old washes, enamels and oils.
I had a lot of fun painting that small vignette. Hope you will enjoy.
I also decided to up my game on photography, which consisted in borrowing my wife phone basically...
Best,
Julien
