Title: Cmk 1/35 German Bundeswehr Infantry

Hello, here's something that's been on the bench for a bit: CMK's German Bundeswehr 1/35 Infantry.
Provided in the blister pack are two figures one in a Halt! pose and the other in a slightly more aggressive Give Me An Excuse To Shoot pose. One of their already primed and basecoated body sans head and arms is as below.

Head on a stick :lol:



Halfway through the camo work. These guys use flektarn (dot) camo and this is my meager attempt at replicating it :wacko:

I haven't got around to planning on the groundwork and scene yet and besides there's still one more GBI to do :wacko:.


Talk to the hand :lol:

Enjoy!
C&C welcome
cheers

Hope soldier is not fresh from graduation parade as he look too clean.
If it is a battle hardened veteran in a battle diorama scene, low flat matt uniform with H20 covercoat and dust on some fine dirt used in diorama floor before flat matt dries.
Do some weathering to the assault rifle as well. We have various grits of dust, gravel and sand/pebbles. Coloring earth tone oxides powder, grass , aerosol PU spray for terrain are all available.
Good painting skill !

Hi Pooh,
Talk about being blinded by spots. Reminds me of the skin texture on the Predator.
Good painting on the face and camo. I guess the headache will start when you do the shading.
This guy needs extra padding around his thighs...kind of skiny.

You guys are too funny and thanks for the compli. ^_^
@ Leong, I don't know that these guys have been engaged in heavy combat action. The few pics I found of them in theater, they were kinda clean cut. Anyway I should be applying some weathering later.
Looks like you have an interesting array of modelling stuff. Must pay you a visit soon!
To continue, our skinny legged hero here gets some backup in the form of... another pair of skinny legs. :lol: Shadow & highlights were applied over the base colour but these are almost gone by the time the other tones are laid on.

Applying the brown & greens.

And it's time for half time...Note the guy in the background has mysteriously shuffled from the right side in the previous pics to the left in this one below.... :ph43r:

T.B.C
C&C welcome!

Highlighting the patterns will be difficult. Well. let's see what comes about. ^_^
@Leong - you can edit your postings w/o having to copy and re-post. :)

Hookay.
Here comes the other pair of skinny legs to join his brother.
On this guy, I tried highlighting and shadowing the individual colours. The overall tones were given a diluted brown wash to mesh the tones together and the deeper recesses were given a sepia wash.




Together with his buddy (who seems to shun the light... :lol:)

C&C welcome
cheers

Thanks Pooh more familiar with modeling stuff as computer era is way beyond and still learning.
A realistic weathering on their clothings is with bentonite clay powder dust on selected areas like kneel, elbow and stomach areas. Use transparent modelling glue that dries tacky to adhere dust for the dry look and dirty feel when finger rub over. Alternatively seal with diluted low flat H20 or matt sealer for dust free. A little free dust makes diorama realistic.
