Panzer officer of (Adolf Hitler) Regiment Ardennes Royal Models 1/16 scale

[blabsy]

Hi all, as requested a little more from my bench, I was completely taken by his pose and Calvin’s box art.
But me being me it’s such a neat figure I wanted a twist, the fighting in the Ardennes was fierce so the uniform would look fairly worn so I hoped to give a tired look and also when painting the face I wanted to give the impression his tank and he had taken a hit, so some cuts and a little bruising was added.
The face is all artist oils and the rest Humbrols.
As per iPhone pictures do not the best.
Happy modelling

Great work, esp. on the camo!

Very nice, he certainly looks like he's been on campaign. Very effective weathering.

 

[Briggsy]

Very nice, bold move with the facial wounds but it works a treat.

Cheers Simon

Liking this figure as well. May have to get it, despite already big grey army…
Very nice paintwork. The wounds are subtle and very realistic.
