SS-Schütze, 11.SS Freiwilliegen-Panzergrenadier Division "Nordland", 1944-45

I am satisfied with how this quick project turned out. It started last Friday evening, and the finishing touches were added last night. The fast turnaround on this figure is attributed to a change in my painting technique—in which I no longer use a black undercoat and instead opted to matt varnish my figures at the start. This unorthodox approach, combined with the attributes of AK Interactive's Gen 3 acrylic paints and mediums, has halved my working speed and tripled my annual output. Perhaps it is time to record another instructional video to document this method. 

Cheers,

I have always wanted to paint this figure but had not the time to do it till last weekend.

This is a sneak preview of the 1/16 scale figure from Alpine Miniatures, which I have just completed last evening. In a stroke of inspiration, I added a prayer cross in his left hand as a dichotomy to the gun slung over his shoulder, reinforcing the visual narrative.

Cheers,
