Hi pF,

Started working on this 1/16 figure from Alpine. Some pics to share. Currently working on the anorak.

Comments and critiques always welcomed

Put some camo on it mate.
Great start!

Pedro.

Who's he calling an anorak?

Another WIP shot, working downwards to the lower part of the parka

Looking good

Moving on to the pants next

Keeping it simple without the camo this time

Attempt at the winter pants. Not sure if these are the felt boots worn by the wss or are just normal marching boots. (I found some references for the felt boots. the leather is kinda of dark reddish brown. )

Very nice work Rompy!


Cheer's,
Jeff.

Excellent work on the white.

I've only seen this figure painted with the felt boots so far. Would make sense as well given the cold setting and stage of the war.

Cheers
Adrian

Nice work rompy,not sure about the boots though !,they could be black as well I suppose,nice job,congratulations mate

Very nice and good to see that parka in field grey

Boots .... I would go toward a black, grey if very worn ...

IIRC german boots were made and then dyed so wear will reveal tan and/or natural leather colours...

Hello Rompy, Here are a few examples of the felt boots. Your figure looks great so far. Regards, SG

Thanks guys

SG, appreciate the photos of the felt boots Looks like there are a few variants of the felt boots. I based mine off the "Deutsche Soldaten" book by andrea

Simple snow base done. Now to lightly weather the parka and pants while trying not to mess it up

Calling this done. Appreciate any comments/critiques Thanks )
