Deutscher Volkssturm Wehrmacht

[creading]

Hello, these are photos of my small vignette titled "Deutscher Volkssturm Wehrmacht"
The base was scratch built around the 'Great North Roads' building ruins.
The figures are a variety of Dragon  & Tamiya with various modifications.
"There’s the enthusiastic young one with his bicycle and Panzerfaust, the WW1 vet who kept his helmet and Mauser C96 Machine pistol, the middle aged man whose eyesight was so bad he couldn’t join the Wehrmacht earlier and the regular soldier who lost an eye on the ostfront and had been recuperating in Berlin. I’m not quite sure any of them know what they are doing there other than being cannon fodder."

Great figure painting!!!

All my attempts to do this end up looking like I used a 3” wide paint brush.

Man....this kind of stuff just captivates me and draws me in. I've never painted a figure .....ever...but when I see stuff like this, it just eggs me on to want to do it more than ever. VERY good work on this masterpiece.

Glad to have you hangin' around and posting too! Welcome back creading.

Excellent vignette, great work. Looks like you perfected the spectacles, something which in that scale is not any fun.

That is excellent. Superb painting skills there.

I'll echo Joe. I have never painted a figure. Then I see something as wonderful as this and I think well..maybe..nope. Back to painting seatbelts.

Add my voice to the others in admiring your work. The photography is very well done as well, I especially like your black and white versions, impressive photo manipulation.

Thanks everyone for commenting. Figure painting really isn't as hard as it would seem although I still have a lot to learn. Patience and practice.

Cheers,

What a fantastic setting. The figures are so well done, and the photography and lighting add much to the realism of whats being viewed.
