German Fallschirmjager, Ardennes, 1944 (1/10, Young Miniatures)

Here is a close-up of the face showing the stippling of paint to create the effects of the freckles or nevus on the chicks.  It is created from a diluted mixture of burnt siena ink and acrylics (Mink Tan, Arte Deco) by stabbing manner and blended again with water. This technique is still new to me so I need more practice. 

[WIP] Joachim Peiper (1915~1976)

Here's a snap shot of what I've been painting for the past two weeks. It is a rendition of Life Miniatures' recent offering from his range of military bust series depicting Joachim Peiper who was a field officer in the Waffen-SS during World War II.  Jacket, shoulder board, and binoculars are waiting for being painted. Now I'm thinking about the colors and how to give natural shadings of U-boat jacket. I should take my time...........
