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!

This is my latest work which is the box art for UP Miniaturen. It depicts General Feld Marschall Paul Hausser also known as father of the Waffen SS. He is painted as usual in Vallejo acrylics and Citadel acrylics was used for the metallics.

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.

Her name is Natalya Meklin Soviet Fighter ace and member of the famed Night Witch Squadron during WW2. She is as always painted in Vallejo acrylics with the exception of Citadel for the metallics.
