Hi Guys,

Just finihed a small vignette from Warrior. I built it almost from the box except that I replaced the German with a hornet head and the Bar. Here are the pics of the kit and all comments are welcome.

TERRIFIC work on the faces! The eyes and "5-o'clock" shadows are expertly done!

Wow! Another masterpiece. I echo the other's comments, in addition to the good job on the jacket camo, the realistic bandage, and the eyes! --- impressive. Overall a neat little scene that gives a lot for the eye to look at. This is good stuff. Please fly over to the states and teach me how to do this please

Congrats on a great piece of work.

Nice work on your figures. Warriors have a few of these small vignettes. Good stuff too. I like the pose on that standing US Para. Base came out nice too.

Cheers !

Guys,

Thanks again for all your comments. Warrior has several little vignettes and they are real nice too. This is the first time I have done a vignette and sure will do more in the future.

Happy modeling!

I just have to say the same stuf that they all already said, impresive, but I do have a little comment, in the first pic the bricks have a glossy look, it will be nice if you gave them a platter look, but again it is probably only the flash of the camera that made them look shiny. The rest of the vingette I just couldn't tell you how to do it better

DRAGONSLAIN,

Thanks for your comments. Yes, there's a bit shinny on the first pic cause I just took the pic right after a wash on the brick. Then I took the rest of the pics again after weathering and a flat base sprayed on the whole vignette.

Your vignette looks fantastic! Can you tell me (us) what type and brand of paints you used for the figures?

Again, awesome job!

11Charlie,

Hey, thanks for your kind words. The colors that I used for the figures and the base are almost acrylics from Tamiya. The flesh colors are Tamiya flat flesh XF15 as a base coat and variant Vallejo flesh colors for hightlight.
