US 82nd Airborne WWII

[S1LVERBACK]

Here are my scale 1:35 Dragon US 82nd Airborne WWII figures.
A bit sloppy here and there I'm afraid but I'm trying to improve on that.
They where painted with enamels and wear Archer DryTransfer ranks and insignia on their sleeves. Hope you enjoy it:

Very nice work Erik.
The whole figure can have some more contrast and also the weapons. It seems to much the same color. On the places where is less light you should paint the clothing in a shading color.
But, keep painting you are on the right track.

Thank you for your constructive comment Marc.
I think the cardinal sin in figure painting got the better of these...
'Lack of patience'.
I need to learn to dot the i's and cross the t's along side expanding my painting skills.

Looking good Eric!
I agree with Marc that some more contrast would improve the piece.

Cheers,
Marcel.

Pleasing to the eye already (particularly when thinking about scale), but yes, I also recommend an increase in contrast and patience on the next one!

Cheers,
Adrian
