Waffen Ss 1942, Pegaso Models 200mm (200-018) Finished

[Stelios Demiras]

Dear friends,
At last I manage to finish this long time project, weathering a little the white parka as I had a doubt to weather or not...
I hope that you like it.

Hi Stelios, the white-washed helmet is brilliant, as are your skin tones. Superb painting and brilliant job!

Very nice indeed

Very nice, great flesh tones. Yes do it, a bit of weathering would really bring it alive.
As you've already painted the helmet in the final white finish its perhaps a little late for a hair spray or salt technique but you could always use the sponge technique to add a little chipping to it. You probably know this already. It's a great way to get a well used effect on painted metals. Pigments perhaps for the clothing.
Hope your not offended but my suggestions.
Beautiful figure. Thanks Karl

Very Nice!

That's a bust I must have a go at one day

Hello Stelios, I also think some weathering on the jacket would help to compliment the whitewashed helmet. I've followed your painting of this bust from the beginning, and the face is one of the best I've seen. One criticism: Although the helmet looks terrific, it does look a little big, in relation to the rest of the bust. I've included a photo of a dirty and weather beaten grenadier wearing the padded white snowsuit, if you decide to do some weathering. Regards, SG

@Nick: Thank you for your kind comments!
@Ken: Thanks a lot!
@Karl: All comments and suggestions for improvement are welcome. Unfortunately, I don't have more energy for this project, but I will keep your advice in mind for my next projects.
@Kaz: You make me blush!
@GothicGeek: Do try this one. The sculpting is exceptional.
@Sturm Grenadier: There is a sub-story about the helmet. He stole it from a dead comrade. That's why it doesn't fit so well!
@Captain Lol: Thank you very much!

Keep your comments coming.
