Squad Leader

[Joe55]

View attachment 238190 Greetings everyone.

I painted this guy using Andrea and Vallejo acrylics. I added the noncom stripe to the back of the helmet, and the patch of the 104th Infantry Division. This is my second Alpine figure and I'll confess that I started another before my squad leader was even finished !

Very nice Joe. I like the muted tones you use on your figures, it gives a very realistic look to them.

Lovely painting on this beaut figure, Joe.
I really like how you've painted his face - he looks the part of a veteran squad leader.

Joe,
You brought tears to my eyes with this figure. My Father served in the Timberwolf Division, got wounded twice, and carried a "souvenir" as he called it, in his leg the rest of his life. A few years before he passed, I did an S&T 1/35 figure as a 104th for him. As like many WW2 vets, he didn't talk much about his personal experiences in the war but was extremely proud of his service.
Thanks much,
Bob

Hi Joe,

Thanks Bob! I'll tell you though that when it comes to getting as close as possible on the colors, it don't hurt to have some of the clothing and equipment on hand !
