German officers in winter uniforms 1/72 scale.

[Gavalaar1980]

Hi all,

Here are my first ever 28mm figures. These were a wonderful challenge to paint, especially the faces and highlights/shadows on the uniform creases in the arms.
Hope you enjoy the photos!

Kind regards,

Nice results Gavalaar,

Thank you,

This was a very difficult project. 1/72 scale figures are ultra small! G

[Jim R]

Very well done Gavin. 1/35 scale figures are difficult enough but braille scale is much harder.

Thanks for the compliments Jim, it was indeed very challenging. I downsized from 1/16 scale to 1/72!

They're lovely, Gavin. Really looks chilly!

Have you considered giving them a unifying coat of varnish, to deal with the variation in finish?

They've turned out very nicely. As Paul said, a light coat of varnish would help... Probably Matt, as they look shiny in the pictures and these greatcoats were cloth.

Thank you, Paul.

Possibly, yeah. The final shade finish contains minor imperfections but I'm satisfied overall with the end result. G

Thanks for the feedback Andy, much appreciated. I would consider a coat of Matt varnish, although not essential it would rectify the minor imperfections. I'm rather chuffed with this project, took a lot of time and effort to get things meticulously looking neat. G
