Tiny little scene...

#1 Post by dancap3286 »

this is my latest work, more of a figure painting excercise but a nice little time filler before I'm onto my next project. The SS figures range from Jaeger, Jaguar, Evolution, warriors and I think Yosci or another Japanese manufacturer. The figures are mostly stock with the exception of Hornet heads and slight change of weapons here and there. It's supposed to depict a few SS troops having a disagreement over surrendering or fighting to the last. The 250 is a Dragon offering, the building is a modfied Tiger Models offering and I think the light post and wall lantern is from Mini Art. The roof section is scratchbult and the whole scene including the figures are Vallejo Acrylics.

Outstanding work as usual! I love your figure work, be it the buildup or the paintjob, it is always excellent!! One point to mention: I do not know the manufacturer of the Ruinkit, but in FLEISCHEREI, Wurst & Hanchen is a small mistake. In German "Hanchen" spells "Hähnchen" and means complete chicken, miam!

As said, fantastic work. Keep it going!

Frank :D

Fantastic work, I'm assuming 1/35 scale. The figures are gloriously painted and the faces look alive. How many hours does it take to attempt something like this?

I love it. There's a lot of tension between the two guys and it looks like a lot of other don't want to make the decision.
Excellent job on the camo too. Great job!!
