US 4th Infantry Division, Germany 1945

 I could not resist adding a M7 rifle grenade launcher to the M1 Garand to enhance the visual interest to this figure.

Half-Day Painting Demonstration

Yesterday, I had the pleasure of hosting a special guest from Korea for a half-day painting demonstration at my home. We covered a wide range of topics related to the painting of a figure, including the face, helmet, uniform, weapon (wooden stock), modelling of straps in epoxy putty, and groundwork. As can be seen from the final result, most of the parts of the figure are still far from completion and should be considered more of a colour sketch than a final product. Nonetheless, it does provide an insight into the painting process. The painting was done using Gen 3 AK Interactive Acrylics.



Cheers,

Unteroffizier - Holland 1940

First one down for the month of December. I have painted a lot of Alpine figures and this is probably the most fun I ever had painting. Everything about this sculpt is exceptionally well done and I would go as far to say that this is Taesung's best sculpt to date. I highly recommend this piece and from what I know it even comes with detailed painting instructions and complimentary paints too!





Cheers,

Unteroffizier - Holland 1940

A little more progress on the figure last evening. The MP40 sling is made from thinly rolled out Milliput applied with a moist brush and secured with PVA glue. The luggage and bottles are from MiniArt. The postcards and photos scattered on the ground are printed from my Canon Selphy printer. 




Cheers,

 After two years, I have finally gotten around to add a title plate to this piece.
