German Tanker

Well after not painting for well over a year, I decided to give it a try again. I really enjoyed sitting down and giving it a go. It is going to take me a while to get comfortable painting. It feels like am starting over. Let me know what you think.

Not much to brutally critique on that one to my eyes. I think it looks very good, the whites are really cool.

Steve thanks, I like the way the whites turned out. I was able to get a better picture taken.

Excellent work.. A bit to clean for my taste.. But the brush work is very neat..

Nap,
For the whites it is all acrylic, Panzer Aces German White Tank Crew for the base, Vallejo Off White / White highlights and German Grey for the shadows.

From the looks of this figure, you haven't lost your touch. I personally have to relearn my techniques whenever I take a long break.


I’m an oiler so I see the facial tones might need some feathering in, a little more blending in the cheek area to a smoother transition down the side of the face, but the white and black look good from here.

Thanks Steve

I agree the transitions on the flesh colors could use some improvement.
