Dragon 1/16 German Field Officer

[Guest]

Rick - Thank you.

Steve - Glad to hear the knee is settling down. Should be able to get the rest of the uniform done before my granddaughter arrives this evening. I actually cleaned the house, which was pretty pointless as it will be devastated by her bedtime - food in the carpets, sticky finger marks all over the TV etc.

Terrific work on the uniform. Top marks for Richard again.

Thanks Steve. He's a bit of a star that Richard Pearce.

The uniform is done:



I was not happy with the cap, which was poorly detailed and even more poorly painted by myself, so I decided to give him a helmet instead, which I think balances the figure more.

After the legs, I painted and added the grenades and the belt loop. The whole is still very shiny at the moment and will need a coat of matt varnish before it's finished.

Hi Peter

These dragon kits really come to life with your paints.

I totally agree. Your painting certainly brings out the best possible with these figures.

Lovely work, again Peter !!

[Guest]

Thanks for the positive comments chaps. I must admit that I'm struggling with this one, finding it hard to get any subtlety into the shading. I've been working on toning down some of the hard lines and it is beginning to look a bit better.

This one is now finished:

As you can see, I've given him a Panzerfaust and also binoculars and a Hitler Youth knife from the spares box.
