    Hi

    I'm having a go at this one which I just released:

    Here is a link to the website: https://sarnia-miniatures.co.uk/?product=025-heinz-guderian

    i am starting with the torso, which I painted and shaded using Vallejo acrylics. Slightly unusually I
    shaded the uniform and overcoat using ground up artists pastels which I used to use to weather AFVs when I used to make AFVs.

    Nice work Peter.A good likeness and different look wearing the early headgear for Panzertruppen.
    Hope he does well for Sarnia.

    Hi Guys

    thanks for the support. Here is an updated photo. Not 100% happy with his mustache, but for now I am calling this one finished - although I may return in a couple of weeks to try and improve the 'tache .
