Joe55 Posted April 11, 2016 Share #1 Posted April 11, 2016 Greetings all, Its been a while since I posted here, so here is a project I finished last week. This is an Alpine figure in 1/16 scale labeled as a 1st Inf Div soldier, however I decided to have this guy as a squad leader of the 104th Div., the Timberwolves. All I did was to sand off the 1st ID patch and add the Timberwolf patch. I also placed a horizontal white stripe decal at the back of his steelpot to represent a noncom. He is painted up using acrylics over good ole cheapo auto body primer. Hope you like him, and thanks for checking him out. Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe55 Posted April 13, 2016 Author Share #8 Posted April 13, 2016 Did you use a wash of any kind to create the shadows or darker areas in creases of the uniform? I have on occaision done just that, but only on smaller scale figures like 1/35th. On larger scales I typically use darker tones of the base color and paint them in in a controlled manner. If I end up where I have too much contrast between my lights and darks, I may use a wash/glaze to blend in the tones and cut back the contrast.

ArtyScout Posted April 18, 2016 Share #15 Posted April 18, 2016 Indeed that is a well sculpted piece, but you brought it to life with your painting of it. I love his facial look, the Tommy gun and the leather holster for the .45. Your blending of dark and light shades of color is extraordinary. Very nice work here. Semper Fi.
