Young Miniatures 1/10 Soviet Tank Commander

[Tim Marlow]

Looking great Peter. Agree with John ref the face colour. You have managed to give him a flushed but cold and windburned appearance.

[Jason Crausby]

Love it!

[Neil Merryweather]

I will add my voice to the chorus of approval for the fresh, cold look you have achieved. Spot on, Mr D.
and I don't think he looks like Dolf Lundgren any more:nerd:

[Tim Marlow]

Let’s face it Neil, even Dolf Lundgren doesn’t look like Dolf Lundgren any more......

Tim - Thanks. It's nice to experiment occasionally.

Jason - Thank you.

Neil - Thanks also. As for the Dolph resemblance, I hope he looks less cyborgish now.

This will be good.

Love the rosy cheeks! The rest isn't too shabby either!!

Keep up the good work.

Morning Peter

great start and well done with the tankers helmet, lovely shadows.

He does look to be in a chill wind, peeping out of the top of his T34 looking for a dread Stug somewhere on the horizon!

Hopefully some more good light today?

Its bright here, -4C with 8 inches of snow in old money lying deep and crisp and even.

Have fun finishing the head and with the leather jacket too.

I guess you will need the next victim warming up in the wings too!

Have a good day with the paints

Regards

Scottie - Don't jinx it!

Andrew - Thank you. I thinned down the eyebrows last night, but the head is safe.

Steve - Good scenario. His shoulder boards show him as quite senior in rank, so perhaps he's the unit commander and has seen a few battles. No snow here, just lots of rain and very dull, which is a pain.

One Soviet tank commander:



I didn't think I'd get this finished today, but it all came together surprisingly quickly. I painted the jacket with mixes of Vallejo Flat Black and Basalt Grey, with highlights no lighter than the latter unmixed. I then gave it a coat of satin varnish, which does obscure some of the shading with shine, but does help add depth to the leather.

Hi Peter
Another winner.

As always a great finish. The leather jacket in particular has come out very nicely indeed.

[Tim Marlow]

Like that one a lot. As Andrew says, the jacket is a real triumph!

[Jason Crausby]

The leather is excellent... great job all round!
