10th Bavarian MG Gunner...

This is my latest work. This is a combined effort between myself and Dan Morton. Dan did a major conversion on this bust which consisted on quite a bit of re-sculpting and reshaping. It depicts a machine gunner of the 10th Bavarian regt. circa 1915 eastern front. Dan sought me out and asked if I would like to paint it for him so I agreed. I've also included some pics of what it looked like in the raw and finished. It is finished as usual in Vallejo acrylics.

The Bloody Solomons...

Here is my latest commission work. I have painted this one before for a customer and really did not want to do it again but I was asked to do him in full camo so I thought it would be fairly interesting. He is another great Rosengrant sculpt and is from New World Miniatures. Overall it is a great sculpt and is painted as usual in Vallejo acrylics with the exception of the metallics being from Citadel. Ground work is silfor matting, PE palm fronds and MIG pigments. Oh, BTW it is 1/16th scale.

101st airborne "The Filthy 13"

Here is my latest work. It is the OOP Warriors 1/9th scale offering by John Rosengrant of a 101st airborne paratrooper complete with Mohawk and war paint. After some help from the guys on the net and some research of my own I learned that these guys became known as part of "The Filthy 13" as 13 members of the 101st sported this look on the D-Day landings. I later learned there were actually 15 of these bad looking hombres but due to some side story they became known as the 13. I really had issue with incorporating the war paint as I felt and still feel to some extent that it takes away from the facial details which are very good on this figure. I decided to do it for 2 reasons, historical accuracy and basically because I had never done something like this before so it was different. I'd like some opinions from you guys on my decision even though I cannot change it now. Like I said I'm still half hearted about the decision to incorporate it. As always it is done on Vallejo acrylics and all hand brushed.

The Chosin Few...

Here is my latest painting exercise. I've always had some trouble with odd type colors so this was a good painting exercise for me. This is from S&T and it's a 1/16 scale depiction of US Marines in the savage fighting at the Chosin Reservoir in Korea 1950 circa. This was as usual done in all Vallejo acrylics as usual.

1/16 scale LAH Tiger with crew...

Well guy's I've been on this one for quite some time now and it is very near to completion. The Tiger I is the Tamiya 1/16 static kit with Aber add ons and some other details here and there. It is depicted as an LAH Tiger with LAH SS grenadiers along with a full crew. The grenadiers and part of the crew is from S&T and the balance is a mix of Verlinden and Alpine. The medic is a conversion from Minuteman Models and Warriors. One thing of note is I'm not sure if the LAH call sign numbers would have been red, all the reference I had showed them in black or white over an exposed undercoat of panzer grey. My client wanted them in red so it is a bit fudged I think but no biggie IMO. Sorry for the pics but because of its size it was very hard to photograph properly. Cheers in advance!
