Hi All,

After several years without painitng any figure I have finished this figure of the Marshal Erich von Manstein.

The painting is far away to be considered good, but... let's progress and improve skills

Hope you like it.

Thanks and Regards,

Hi Steve,
Many thanks for your comments, which make me aware of my mistakes. This is the way to improve

Photos were done with my cell, and yes, they are horrible...

Indeed, I was not aggressive enough with lights and shadows, next figure I will try to incise there. I have used acrylics, mainly, Vallejo, and Tamiya X21 flat base, possibly not enough. As per your suggestion, since the figure is not definitively put on the base, I will apply an ultramatt barnish coat.

Thanks again and Regards

Welcome back and nice paintwork!

Hi Arturo!

Keep them coming. Next work will be better and so on.
Nice!

saludos,

Very nice work

Don't be too hard on yourself as this looks fine to me and the insignia and Field Grey uniform colours look exactly right to me.

Welcome back Arturo!
Gary

Many thanks All your comments and criticism.

Hi Nap,

Thanks for your words and advice. indeed, my mates told me the same, keep the figure as it is and compare it with the next in the following months, and will appreciate your progress and the mistakes you made in the first one, and will be able to correct. That's a great advice, in my opinion, so I have started a new one and am keeping an eye on the details I missed with this first bust.

Greetings from Spain
