Young Miniatures 1/10 scale WW1 German Stormtrooper bust

[Gary Edmundson]

I've just completed my take on Young Miniatures 1/10 scale WW1 German Stormtrooper bust and wanted to share a few pictures. I'd posted a few steps on the Vbench forum here: https://www.planetfigure.com/threads/german-stormtrooper-ww1.545135/ which was a first for me when it comes to painting busts. Still trying to develop some effective techniques with the help of forum members here for inspiration and guidance.

This was painted using Tamiya acrylics for a base, and Vallejo acrylics for the finishing paintwork, with a touch of oils and enamels for highlights, shadow, detailing etc.
Cheers,
Gary

Real intensity in that stare Gary!
Also neat seeing how you’ve captured effects of various surfaces from painted helmet to woollen greatcoat, wooden rifle stock & blanket.

Wow! Absolute top-notch painting, there. No wonder I gave up doing busts. Totally superb.
