I'm painting my last sculpture for Miniaturas Fortes in order to have a new box art.



First af all I glue as much of the figure as I can without troubling the painting.

It is advisable to pay some attention to the fitting of the equipe in the back. I have glued the zeltahn on the gasmask to ease the further glueing.



I have made the MG 34 strap with some paper and a bit of very thin copper wire.

I have modelled a small terrain ona a masked base and, after these steps, have primed the figure with Citadel black primer.

I like these threads. Thanks for doing this one.

Following your technique

Marc

Thanks for looking!
As usual, I have started painting the eyes. I have painted the white with Vallejo's Deck Tan 70986. Later, I have painted a black circle and on it, have painted eith a mix of Prussian Blue with Deck Tan an a touch of black. Finally I have added a twinkle mixing Prussian Blue with more Deck Tan.

Great start Diego, I'll be following as well.
Tom

Looking good so far Diego, following too

Billy

Great start. Following your work as always

Thanks everyone!
I have took some improvised photos, excuse me for the quality.
I have painted the face in acrylics but want to to refining it at a later moment with some oil colours.
After that I have painted the trousers in a soiled white and still am adding some effects of mud and grease, etc.

excellent work

I've been progressing slowly these days.
This is how the figure is right now.
Now I have to make some molds, so it will keep progressing slowly:

Nice work on the marsh pattern Diego.
What did you use as the sand brown base colour?

Cheers,
Adrian

Thanks, Adrian!
It is Vallejo 824 (german cam orange) with a bit of burnt umber.

Superb all round, a great piece and a great paint job.
I can't wait to get one of these
Eager for more

Mine arrived today, a superb piece and makes me want to start painting straight away
Many thanks

Thanks to you, Graham.
I'm right now painting the figure. I would like to have it for the weekend.

Well, the painting process is almost finished.
There are still some touches to add, but it's enough for today.
Tomorrow I will twke some better pics for the boxart:

I agree great looking figure.

Hello Diego, I like the bulky appearance of the winter parka, and trousers, great drapery on those. Any chance of an assistant gunner, to go along with this MG'er??? Excellent painting Diego, I really like this one. Regards, SG

Thanks for the comments!
It has many possibilities, as the padded uniform was reversible: All white, all grey, camo, combinations...
