Officier d'Infanterie Allemand 1914

[Angaliel]

Hi all,

my last paint :

a Metal Modeles 54mm painted with acrylics.

 

[Ventress]

Quality, tidy piece. Captures the Prussian brilliantly.

 

[ChaosCossack]

I agree with Ventress... an example of pure noble Prussian arrogance.
If I have one negative observation it's that the lips might be a bit dark for the tone of the face. Kinda looks like he's wearing dark lipstick. Should be an easy fix though.
Beyond that, I love this piece... the picklehaub, the feldgrau, the red leather and the detail are all excellent.

Great job

Colin

Excellent work!
I think this figure deserved other groundwork.

JP,
Well done and nice colours.
Cheers

[Angaliel]

Thx a lot everyone.

Collin : you're right I should do the lips less dark.

Pedro : I agree with you. But I try to make a collection of WW1 miniatures that are all on the same bases :



Dragon Français 1914 (Oil paint)




Officier d'Infanterie Française 1915 (Acrylic)




Tirailleur Sénégalais (Acrylic)

Yes I think you're right. I have some pictures that show it. But maybe some had leather?

Great Painting JP. The grays are fantastic.
