Young Miniatures - Das Reich, Russia, 1941

Painting the helmet cover this evening. Experimenting with the AK Quick Gen colours to create the blurring effect for the blurred edge camo.

Young Miniatures - Das Reich, Russia, 1941

 Here is another bust from Young Miniatures which I started over the past weekend. I decide to customise this piece by replacing the original face with another taken from the Ardennes Fallschirmjäger bust.  The separation was made along the chin strap to transplant the new face; minor repairs were made with epoxy putty.



The face and balaclava are painted with AK Gen 3 acrylics and AK Quick Gen paints using UMV as a painting medium.



I also decided to extend the shoulders with some epoxy putty.


Cheers,

Calvin
