It gives me great pleasure to present to you a recent 1/35 scale box art assignment I painted for Royal Model. It is a digital sculpt by Roberto Reale and fully painted in AK Interactive Gen 3 acrylics.

Last but not least, a very special mention to Werner Palinckx's excellent book Waffen SS Camouflage Uniforms published by AK Interactive, which arrived just as I was about to embark on this assignment.

A Masterclass in camo painting - but then I didn't expect anything less than that.
And I full-heartedly agree re Werner's book: a must-have for everybody who wants to paint Waffen-SS camo. Pricey, but excellent.

Cheers

Incredible painting in 1/35th as always.
Have you done an overview anywhere of how you paint the skintones on your figures?
