Dragon Models has released numerous German infantry kits, many of which are poses of past battlefield photos. There is no relation to the four soldiers. It is one standing scene of the elite soldier on the eastern battlefield.
He is wearing something like a thin camouflage parka, or whether it is the feature of this sculptor, clothes are molded with tiny wrinkles.
This Waffen-SS soldier has a Soviet submachine gun and an extra drum magazine pouch.
I tried to make two figures, thinking that the face of the original was not bad. As I made the 3rd body, I got bored that they are similar faces, so I replaced them with resin-made heads. Four faces may have a little more emotion and pleasure. A stuck front would have picked it up.
As for the radio headphone, the photo-etched part is thinner, and it looks good.
I diluted the bottled surfacer with thinner and blew.
German soldier arms a Russian submachine gun and crash cap officer. German soldier camouflage uniforms are painful to paint, but it is fun to investigate with various patterns and color schemes. Whether it can be appropriately painted is another matter. Based on Vallejo’s Green Ocher, I tried combining German camouflage medium brown and beige.
I paint it brown and beige to make it a camouflage paint that fits the autumn.
Tank crew, was there such a color pattern? The face is not yet painted in detail.
The officer figure is holding a submachine gun. Wears M44 camouflage uniform on the standard uniform.
This soldier has a signal pistol and loads it. Wears the cold winter Anorak.
The tank crew has a notebook in one hand. I painted this camouflage pattern, but I’m not sure this kind of pattern was real.
A pose holding a PPSh 1941 submachine gun picked up from the Russian army. He is wearing a camouflage smock on the field uniform.
The painting of camouflage uniforms does not go well even if I put colors randomly. I better paint after imagining the pattern.
The figures have always been made with a feeling like a bonus of AFVs from the old days. The appearance will improve if I draw fine, but it will not easily reach that level.
(11-November-2018)
I am interested in models of tanks, airplanes, ships, military figures, I build them little by little when I feel like it. I am also interested in the history of war. My starting is Tamiya’s Military Miniature series in elementary school.
From elementary school through university students repeatedly suspend and restart my modeling, it’s about 25 years of this hobby’s history.
From February 2007 I was quietly doing a site called “Miniature-Arcadia”. It is being transferred to this blog with the same name from December 2016. My update pace is uneven, but please come to see me here occasionally.
