Thought I'd share this work. My first love has always been 1/35th scale figures, been out of it for a long time.(too much eye strain) The main portions of the figures are some old DML Israellies I've had since Germany in the 90's. I've resclupted them four other times. The heads,hands and most other equipment is made from sprue.






I painted this using black and white oils, because the whole thing reminded me of and episode of Combat.
Anyway thanks for looking any comments wuld be weclomed

Hi Tony,

That's a very nicely animated vignette! And I do like the "black & white" approach you've adopted.

Another method you could use for that is to simply spray the whole thing black (rattlecan, I use "Chaos Black" from Games Workshop), and then gently "mist" the whole thing with white sprayed from above ("Skull White", once again from Games Workshop, is what I use for that).

A trader demonstrated this for me at a show one time, and it really picks out the fine details beautifully. So simple - but extremely effective.

Of course the key (as ever) is subtlety - i.e. smooth gentle passes - no pointing the can straight at the subject and blasting away!!

Thanks for sharing.

Steve: thank you for the advice. I'll try it on the next set.

Very cool Anthony. I might have to give that a try one of these days.

I showed a friend of mine (who isn't a modeler) and he really liked the black and white look also.

Randy : Thank you for your comments. I thought doing it in B&W was going to be easy, It wasn't as hard as getting the right shade of OD, but it had other problems. Exsample in the photos a lot of shade seem to be the same ie equipment, uniforms actulley every differrent item was painted a differrent mix of B&W.

That's a really nice vigniette.Iwant to see it finished!

ummm, I believe it already is

Oups,it is in black&white!It's really great!

Jordan, Nick: Thanks guys for looking and your comments. Yes it's as finsihed as its going to get.. but never say never I thought I might go ahead and paint it in color. any thoughts guys?

Anthony,

I was really impressed with your b&w white work and I personally think it looks great as it is. But it is completely up to you whether you want to paint it in colour.
