Completed Sgt. 2nd Armoured Division WW2.

[MalcC]

I made an early start this morning, as the weather forecast is a hot one.

Tempting fate, I set up my portable airbrush to paint the helmet, which I'd previously primed black.
It took more time cleaning the airbrush afterward than it did spraying the helmet.
Once it was dry I mixed up a suitable shade of green in oils, a thin coat was applied and its been left to dry before finishing off.

Simon mentioned I was going to have fun painting the glove and he wasn't wrong.
I googled a picture of Brad Pitt wearing the gloves and based the appearance of them in the painting.


Please click on the thumbnail for a larger image.

Almost home and dry now, just the helmet to complete and Fury to add to the barrel and he's finished.
Next project is on the way, a real golden oldy from my grey army.

Nice going on the glove, a well used and worn glove it is too, sweat, damp and grease all to good effect. I've not done WWII since making dioramas, but they were mostly German or Italian.

Next project sounds intriguing.

Cheers Simon

Cheers Simon.
I've been adding some additional highlights on the back of the glove, to give contrast between the mucky fingers.

As for the next project, I think the kit is about 20 years old.

thanks Nap.
Made a little more progress this morning on the glove and helmet, as well as marking out "Fury".
Fingers crossed, I'm hoping to get it finished early next week.

As for the next project..... Its from Pegaso and its in white metal 90mm.
