This is a Sarnia Miniatures bust depicting panzer supremo, Heinz Guderian c.1937 wearing, a general officer's uniform and the beret/hard hat combo:

As you can see it's based on an Osprey Men at Arms illustration. There is a useful painting guide provided with the kit, with another illustration showing the shoulder board detail.

I've painted the head:

Looking forward to tackling the uniform, which is covered in lovely detail.

Hi Peter
Looks nice. I imagine black is not easy - how do you add shadows :rolling: Head's good.

Mick - Thanks for looking in.

Jim - It's all grey, with the only true black in the deep shadows. The cap has darkened in the photos, but hopefully it will be more obvious once the jacket is done.

Looks pretty fine Peter. The eyes especially are outstanding.
