German Waffen SS Bust.

[Chris S]

Hi all ,
Im planning on starting another bust shortly ,which I will do a full blog for here ,But in the meantime I thought I'd share this one with you .It was done a while ago and is a Young Miniatures bust ,which ,if you havent tried them are first class ,beautifully sculpted and moulded .
I've tried to give this chap a cold and damp look as he's set in the Ardennes '44' the camo doesnt show to well in the pics ,but thats because the smock has been painted to look damp and therefore darker than normal .....Anyhoo , here he is .






All coments and criticisms welcome ,Thanks for looking.

Chris.

[Chris S]

Good Job !

Lookin good.

Question: To achieve th damp look , did you give th bust a lot of Grey washes ?

I like th weathering on th helmet cover !

 

[Biskup]

Nice one
I like the way you've painted the face and shaded the helmet cover.

Great job... very nice finish on that!

 

[Chris S]

Thanks fella's ,Im glad you like it ,I'll be starting an Indian bust shortly and I'll explain my techniques through the blog ...if there's interest

Panzer Ace ...I initially painted the camo slightly darker and with muted colours after shading etc a very thin wash of grey was applied ,followed by a Satin clearcoat ,my first attempt at something like that ,but I think it worked ok ???

CHEERS !! Rock-On ! I'd say you nailed it !!











No doubt th Bust was inspired by the Soldiers in Kampf Grouppe Hansen ! Ambush at Poteau/Ardennes Offensive !!

Again Great Job !!

I'll be lookin for you next Build !!
