Waffen Ss Bust, 1942, Pegaso Models (200-018), 1/9

[Stelios Demiras]

View attachment 112675 Dear friends,
I am working in this German Waffen SS bust that I had in my stock for some time, but I finally found the time to start it. I used Vallejo acrylics for the face, uniform and helmet. For the MP40 I used Metalcote colors from Humbrol. I hope that it is better than the U-BOAT Crew.

What a very great improvement since the Uboot bust! Flesh tones are looking really nice so far!

Excellent painting! I love this face painting a lot. I think way much much better than U-boat crew.

Wow Stelios, great improvement indeed. Blending from the cheekbones upwards is excellent. Maybe the borders of the 5 ó clock shade on de upperlip area are still a bit too harsh.

Dear friends,
Thank you all for your nice comments.
I went on a little further, painting the inner surface of the parka (field grey, I used the paint set of Andrea, as I wanted a very matt surface), the jacket with the facings (I alter the color a little by adding a little Prussian blue). I put the helmet temporary just to see the whole bust together.
