Finished: 28mm Waffen SS Test Figures

 


Well, almost finished - They'll need a bit more work on the bases (particularly the Jump Off Point one), decals to be added and maybe some touch-ups.


Uniform Test




The second highlights came out a bit "chalky" and both highlights lose a bit too much of the green. That could be because I added too much Light Grey and Sky Grey to the uniform base colour. I might try another figure using Stone Grey instead.


Autumn Oak Leaf Camo

Barrel snapped during prep, so using for a JOP marker



Overall, I'm happy with the colours. Perhaps the base colour could be a bit lighter (it was German Camo Pale Brown, highlighted by adding Buff). I also need to practice my "dotting".


Spring Oak Leaf Camo and Helmet




I definitely need to practice my "dotting"! Overall, happy; same thoughts about the base. For the helmet, the colour looks about right; same goes for the rest of the equipment, although I may have over-highlighted the yellow of the Panzerfaust.

All three figures are from Artizan.

    They look great Tamsin! The one thing about the Germans, they had lots of uniforms to choose from & as the war dragged on the quality changed, so a multitude of colours & hues isn't a bad thing

      Cheers! I did consider doing a multitude of patterns - Palm Tree, Plane Tree, Oak Leaf, etc - but decided to keep things a little simpler and just do the two versions of oak leaf. :)

    Great looking figures Tamsin, and all three variations look good to me.
