Italy, 1945

[WarhammerAdjacent]

Hi all, I think I’m done with this piece. 1/16 figure of a British officer in Italy in spring 1945. He is based on some comments in my grandpas memoir and I’ve tried to imitate the uniform he describes. I had wanted to put something like this together for a while but it wasn’t until I saw a Tim Godden painting of an officer in Normandy that I worked out what I wanted to do with the background.

Anyhow, figure sculpted by me, Redees head, royal model hands and some 3D printed accessories, all painted with acrylics apart from a dab of oil on leather and wood. I’m always open to critique so please do chip in with any tweaks or improvements you can suggest.

Excellent, I can't really fault your work even to offer constructive criticism, your work just keeps getting better in great leaps and bounds. The only thing I can suggest is more time glazing your shade and highlights to give a more subtle transition, that's not a fault just a style.

You have done a great job Stefan in creating your own unique figure, careful though it can become addictive

Thanks Steve, and thanks for your range of heads, they are ace! Lots of the heads out there are a bit 'chiselled hollywood star' for my projects but your range are perfect for steadfast Tommies.

I'd love to see more (plus some hands in a matching scale).

Hi Stefan

Thanks for the pics and the great V bench https://www.planetfigure.com/threads/two-british-1-16-figures.687636/

The figure looks good, do like the basework as well, cleverly thought out , the El Duce image is a nice idea

The blending been mentioned but if I might suggest more edge definition on belts ..just my thoughts
