Hi all ... this is a little side project to keep me sane while I do the 200mm full figure Fallschirmjäger! One of only 2 figures I bought at Euro this year

Occasional updates will follow

Hi Mark.

Best Regards
Paul

Hi Mark!

You are a factory my friend.
This Fallschirmjäger have strange left hand pose.
Following!

Nice start Mark, I'm following with interest.

I like this skin tone very much Mark, nice character to it,cleanly painted and just right, IMO.

Hi Mark
Oaou amazing job so far paint the face is very good.
I expect the next step in the painting of other parts that will surely be a Fallschirmjäger kamo

Alexandros

Very nice

Looking good Mark. Great expression on the face and I love the skintone of the hand.

Looking very nice so far Mark

i know him
Yes Carl, Laurent is the sculptor

Excellent start as usual Mark!
Looking forward to see some more.

Cheers,
Marcel.

Well done

By the way, I just so happened to have a real Fallschirmjager helm on my desk the other day (a piece from Chris "Panzer" Mrosko's collection)

DES's rendition of the helm is great and they have even captured the subtle pointy leading edge of the helmet outlined below in the pics (ya, that's my work area... quite underwhelming compared to other figurists )

hi mark
Great start ! looking forward to seeing the finished bust , keep up the good work.
sam

Brilliant painting as usual Mark!

Gordy, I hope you didn't pay Mrosko too much for that lid!

Cheers,
Jon.

It was a loaner while I sculpting a 1/16th scale helmet!

Cool!

Hats off to guys like you that can sculpt this kind of stuff. I'm hoping to use a wee bit of CAD to 3D print a Brit para helmet...cos I haven't got the old school skills!

Cheers,
Jon.

That's one heavenly painted face.

Mark, excellent start, will be following.

Cheers Ken

I spent most of todays session painting the brown splinters on the tunic... and on the DML 1/16th figure thats been hanging around on my bench for 3 months!

I have painted the pattern a little on the large side but once the green splinters, rain marks and some shading and highlighting have been applied I think ( hope ) it will look okay!

Painted the leather up on the holster too ....





Also sad to see someone rated this thread as Bad ... 2 stars ....



Please let me know why, so that I can improve my threads.....
