German infantry in Wachtmantel & Tiger 1

Hi guys here are some figures i am adding to an already made small diorama of a Tiger 1 in Winter on the eastern front

I have added liquid glue to the fur areas of the coats and then when it has softened the plastic i have teased it up with a sharp pointed tool to represent fur with a more realistic appearance

After priming the figure i have started with a base coat for the coat in a mix of sand yellow and buff.

 

 

Very nice!

 

I shall be following

 

I'll pull up a Chair for this one Andy

Cheers

This was followed by a mix of the base colour and medium brown mixed 50 50 with water and painted in as a wash for the shadow areas. The paints used by the way are Valejo acryliks.

 

 

After drying this i painted in the highlights to the suede type coat. For this i added some white to the base coat.

When dry again i added filter coats of the base colour in weak washes. This step you dry between coats and add until you are happy with the look. I stopped when i asked my wife what she thought the coat was supposed to be made out of and she replied suede, Good enough.

 

 

Hi Andy,

 

this looks very good so I'll be here.

Thanks Noel and Tony , glad to have you tag along.

Next step on this is i mixed up some white with a little of the base colour to a light creamy white. This was for the fur parts and the wide stitching. Diluted 70 paint and 30 water i painted all these area,s. By using the base colour in each step you have unity with the paint.
