Mal_Belford Posted July 4, 2014 Author Share Posted July 4, 2014 Well Accidents do happen you might say..... MEEEEDIC.........it fell to the floor almost when i were done with the main painting and about to start pinwashibg highlightning and all that......i deceided to strip it all and fix it properly, since ive havent come that far yet....... so stripped it all clean to the resin, ill fix it tomorrow, easy peasy, as you all know ive allready changed lots of angles on this figure, now a cold cold white Chardonay wine..... /Mal So stay tuned Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mal_Belford Posted July 5, 2014 Author Share Posted July 5, 2014 Allright things done.. That accident, yep leg is in place and patched, ive painted the entire figure using Vallejos only, Modelcolor and Air, heavily diluted, them blue are homebrew color of Vallejo, all this took a while to do to avoud brush strokes, heavilly diluted colors, thin layers many times, never try to cover everything at one brush it is always to much paint that kills details....... So took 3h to do, the buckets are painted with silverpen color, it is awesome to use and forgiving... Allright getting closer for variouss washes and oils.....so it can come alive, highlighing and creating shadows..... also painted thar Iron Cross with outline of silver too, the Verlinden Box Art did not have that, they missed it, but it is there in the casting.... i Might get couple of figures after all.... /Mal /Mal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Peterpools Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 Mal Gorgeous work on the figures. You sure have the magic touch Keep 'em coming Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mal_Belford Posted July 6, 2014 Author Share Posted July 6, 2014 Thanks Peter for the kind words. As i said im trying the best i can, but i cant help that the casting itself is poorly done....try to paint and get the effect instead in a way trick the eye..... /Mal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mal_Belford Posted July 6, 2014 Author Share Posted July 6, 2014 Allright folks say hello to my first finnished figure ive ever done......as i mentioned, i cant do anything more cause the poor models them selves, bad casting....this is how far my skills take me for the moment...... I vill shure try them figures again but another manufacture, as ive googled and seen really neat figures with perfect details, wich will be far easier to detail it good. /Mal Sparzanza 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martinnfb Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 Holy Wowzers !, Mal, those heads and uniforms are simply top notch. Love it! M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mal_Belford Posted July 6, 2014 Author Share Posted July 6, 2014 Oh Thanks Martin, appriciate it.... As ive said, my first on many things lol... Just fooling around with the places on the figure, "Alarm" note this is only dryfitting the figure.... just to get a pic that it whole fits....also seen, remember that gap on the figures back, apptox 3mm, ive used "perfect Putty" for that, also rebuilded the harness with that, it is really great stuff.... /Mal Sparzanza 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparzanza Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 I just love the whole setup you've achieved, as well as the contrast... absolutely gorgeous. Like I said, photograph this with a foresty background... and edit it to be black and white... I will bet nobody can tell it apart from a diorama and an actual WW2 photograph!
