WIP W SS Gebirgsjäger, Alpine 1/16th

[Viking Bob]

I know I said it was back to late Victorian period but the wife got me this figure some 3 years ago, so I thought it was time to get some paint on it.
Still some way to go but enjoying this so far. I have found a useful site that sell original items with some good detailed photos.
www.lux-military-antiques.com/en/home.htm.
Very useful.
I have painted the face in oils but the rest in acrylic's


Photos are taken for speed with my phone, I will upload better photos soon.

Nice work Bob! I like the dusty pants. Looks like he's been walking a long way...

Cheers,

Thank you T50 and Ken, the detail on this is mind blowing. At the moment I am working on the cuff band lettering, going crosseyed. Glad you like the weathering so far.
Thanks again Gents.

Your on a roll with the WW2 stuff Bob. Lovely start and liking the uniform colours.

Turning out pretty nice there Bob!

I did this dude a few years back. Its a well done sculpt and was a blast to paint up!

I am in the process of painting the rifle and the entrenching tool at this time and should be completed soon.
I have noticed some parts on him that need a little touch up with a brush. Hope you like the better photos.

Thank you Kev, these Alpine figures are packed with detail.
My next will be Troop54s officer 66th foot. A full figure but never say never regarding a bust.
