1/10 WSS Grenadier in Ardennes

Post by alextheblue »

Just a quick WIP, as this is something that I've been chipping away at for a while. I love painting figures, usually 1/35 ones for dio's etc, so this is my first go at something bigger. You'd think it was easier being bigger, but it just means your mistakes are more noticeable!! :crazy:

I actually planned to do the face first, get that finished and then put it to one side, but instead, I ended up doing it arse-about-face, literally. I put a base tone down for the skin and then painted in the eyes and whilst that was drying I decided to crack on with the rest. The thing actually sat untouched for a few months as I kept bottling out of the oak-leaf camo. In the end, you've just got to grab the bull by the horns - what's the worse that can happen.

Great box-art.

Not much left to do to this one now. Finish the face and hands, weather and attached the MG and then give the whole thing a final weathering and matt coat.

I'ts a great bust, beautifully sculpted and moulded and whilst pricey at around 40 quid, I think it's worth every penny. Or, it was until I got my hands on it!! :bash:

Thanks for taking a look! :th:
