Completed Sikh officer ww2

[razor]

It’s been over a year since I last painted, but it’s time to give it another go. I present my 1/35 Sikh officer in Italy, a Panzer art figure with an appropriate Hornet head all done in acrylics.
Thanks for looking.

Nice figure and some nice painting, Indian Army participation in the WW's is very under represented and little appreciated. I think you have the skin tones really well done.

A stunner, a beautiful little figure and a great start. Love the skin tone.

Always like seeing your innovative projects Paul.
A small twist on the original & a whole new story can be told.
Thanks for the inspiration.

Very nice, is that cork that the ground work is based on?

Ta. No its a solid resin base I cut a chunk off and covered with miliput and crushed cat litter. The colour is from a wash with Vallejo earth.

He's turned out really well, the most dangerous soldiers in the world, an officer with a map!

Tiny update, still lots to do but the ground is starting to look right.

As it’s a map of Normandy you couldn’t be more more right

Very nice, and the groundwork looks very effective.

Looks damn good now whatever else you do can only make it better, he does need a Sgt to read the map for him though!

This is very nice, and a subject (Indian troops) that is underrepresented.

Thanks for all the kind words. I’m calling it a day for now. It’s been an enjoyable exercise painting Indian skin rather than my normal pink people. Sorry for the rotten photos.
Thanks again. Paul

Really great piece, an unusual subject and interesting thread.
