"REQUIEM".....(the figures)

[WPS]

Mattias, I can only follow in all other comments and say, welcome, the rest is already said.

groeten from, Willem

Tjena Mattias!

The figure looks real good. The only thing sticking out to me is the beard. It looks kind of weird. It would look better if you brought it up to the sideburns as well, as of right now, it stops where the jaw meets the earlobe.

Kul att se fler Svenskar har!

Willem and Anders, thanks for your comments.

Anders, you're definitely right about his beard. I will correct it until next update.

I'm also thinking about if I should accentuate the highs and lows in his face more (highlightning etc.). It's actually more than it's shown in the photo, but anyway.
Will also match his hair more with the colour of the beard.

Thanks again. / Mattias Larsson

Wow! Some really amazing work there!

Hi Mattias,

looks great already, the camo is very nice!
My additional comment would be regarding the eyes, there is very little contrast between eyes' white and flesh colour, the figure'd may benefit from outlining them (or add more contract below and above?). It might be difficult to do now, anyhow, this is a minor thing, maybe even nitpicking as the picture enlrages the face a lot

Look forward to see your updates!
Thanks
Denes

Well, it's time for an update on the figures.

I'm almost done with these two combat weary dudes, just some dirt left to apply and some minor corrections.

I tried to enhance the drivers face so it'll be more visible through the open vision port. Only the area around his eyes will be visible.

Sorry for the crappy photos....

Release your opinons!

Hi again

I've started to paint the dead crewman, with about 30% left to do.

I include some "better" shots of the CO.

That's it for now.

Mattias,

Welcome to Pf, Great painting skills, you certainly have a flair for building small diorama's, really admire " pole position" and it's originality.
Keep posting "requiem" looking forward to seeing it finished.
Are you planning to enter it in any major shows, if so where and when.

Cheers Ken

Hi Ken and thanks.

As it looks now, I'll attend at Euromilitaire this year.

I've finished the dead one to about 99%. Just some final touches and weathering after it's been
placed permanently on the vehicle. The white appears to stark in the photos hence the shadows
and ingrained dirt is less visible. The red also looks more bright than it actually is.

I've also finished the sculpting and conversions on the last two figures, and they are now ready
for priming.

The sitting figure comes from Warrior but are converted to fit the scene. I added a layer of Sculp
to make his reversible jacket thicker and covered his legs with a blanket.
He got minor shrapnel wounds to the right side of his face (around the ear) so a bandage
around the head were made together with a proper German haircut.

The standing soldier is a Platoon-figure and no major conversions were needed. I just made his
hands show a bit more through his pockets and simulated ammo pouches under his great coat.
He will have his Gewehr 43 leaned against the wall and his helmet on a bench behind him.

That's it for now. Have a great week .

This evening I painted the face on the fourth figure. I'll put a bit more shine to his face, but from that, I'm pretty happy with how he turned out.

Cheers
