SS Officer

[rustyratliff]

After about a year away from the hobby I am trying to get back to where I was. This is my second figure since I started painting agian. I am waiting to mount it on the base before I finish the boots, or weather the coat. I am open to any suggestions for improvement. Feel free to pick it apart.

I know the piping on the collor tabs for a panzer officer are pink should the piping on the cap be pink as well?
Thanks Rusty

Yes, see the explanation box on top of this page(click on the link).http://www.2ssdasreich.org/waffenfarbe.html

It say's:
Waffenfarbe is most commonly utilized on shoulderboards and Schiffchen, though initially also intended for use on Schirmmutzen.

By the way your model is looking good, welcome back to the hobby.

Rene, thanks for the link. That will be helpful. I guess I will repaint the his cap with the appropriate panzer rose color.

OK, but do not make the mistak,to paint the silver double cords on the cap. They are silver (Officers) . on the under and upperside of the black rim on the cap is a pink line (piping).
Have a close look on the picture i sent.

Hi!

I think you did a nice job after all this is 1:35 scale - can not ask for more.

Great painting on your figure Rusty. Like the fleshtones, and the coat shading and highlights. The base is also very well done. Welcome back. Regards, SG

Rusty, I am no expert to give advice, but I think it looks excellent!

Beautiful work on the coat in particular.


Cheer's,
Jeff.
