German Army Officer w/ field glasses:
WOW! OUTSTANDING JOB! [tup] I like the look of battle hardened helmet. Was the ‘band’ around the right arm painted or did you use a decal? How did you do it? I am new and I am learning as much as I can after staying away from the models for 20+ years. What is the proper word for the ‘band’ around the German’s arms?
Hi Manny,
We must be reading each other’s mail. I have been trying to purchase this figure online for two weeks but everyone is out of stock! I have been looking for a figure for my next build which will be Trumpeter’s German 38(H) Artillery Observation Vehicle which Andy just built about a month ago.
I initially picked up Alpine Miniatures Waffen SS Panzer Officer
I really thought he would work in the vehicle with the M-42 Field Cap head but then I saw this guy and he seemed perfect. I am not ready to do a camouflage pattern on figures; I would like to practice on single color uniforms awhile first before I take on that challenge. I have a couple questions if you don’t mind and they are as follows:
- Did you use Vallejo Model Color acrylics of oils or possibly a combination?
- What base colors and highlight and shadow colors did you use for the tunic and the pants?
- Do you want to marry my Stug Dio?
nice fig, is it a GD soldat? alos i think you may have the cuff title on the wrong sleeve, they were worn on the left sleev.
The cuff-title was hand-painted on with Humbrol black and white…The figure, as I painted it, is supposed to be a Grossdeutchland Officer. As far as the sleeve side goes, the SS wore the cuff-titles on the left sleeve and the Heer (Army) on the right-sleeve…so my figure is correct.
op my bad thats right sorry
