SS Tank Commander...



Here is a piece I just finished the morning of the Long Island Historical Miniatures Show. He is a 1/9 scale Waffen SS tank commander in a Panther cupola. I wanted to try some new techniques as far as finishing the look of leather so I thought this would be perfect. As always he and the cupola are painted in Vallejo Acrylics along with Citadel brand paints for the metallics. The cupola was weathered with oil washes, MIG pigments and graphite powder.

Sergeant John Rosengrant, 1st Armored...



This is my latest work. It is John Rosengrant's self portrait of an American tanker sitting atop a Sherman. This is an OOP 200MM kit that I scored on e-bay a few months ago and I really loved painting it because it includes my 2 favorite things to model, armor and figures. The piece is as always painted in Vallejo Acrylics except for Citadel acrylics for the metallics.
