I'm not sure if I'm supposed post this here because it does not show the Elefant but rather the crew and the schwimmwagen. I'm sorry about the quality of the pics because I was in a hurry during the time I took the photo. In my next update I'll probably include the Elefant as well as the placement of the figs...They are still glossy...no flat coating yet....







Below is the actual placement....(old pic)

sweeeet, the "schwimm" looks well weathered, and figures well painted, now hurry and finish :-)

Looking good Arvin.. can't wait for the finished product!

Hey Arvin

Looks good. I like the elefant. I too am making one for the Tank Destroyers Campaign. Which make is it?

Keep on modelling

Brian

Looks good so far Arvin. Please hurry up and finish.
On a lighter note, i like the bottom pic as it looks like they are all searching for their heads :-) :-)

Brian

Thanks....

I hope to finish this dio in time for the TD deadline...

Cheers

I like the whole dio, but the figures in particular are impressive. Would you mind sharing your techniques for painting the faces and insignia, as these are things I'm struggling with? T(h)anks

Hi Rip,

Thank you. I'm no expert when it comes to painting faces, but here goes... I painted the faces using Oil, for flesh color I used yellow ochre , titanium white and burt sienna. Just mix the 3 colors -- initially equal parts for yellow ochre and burnt sienna, then I increase the white as necessary (depends on the skin tone you like). I just got the tip from the links below...

As for the insignia, I just used a very fine tipped brush...its trial and error...

I hope this helps...

Cheers

Thanks very much for the help Arvin. Time for some more (make that a LOT more) practice then!

Hi Rip,

Saw some of your figs and they look very good, so probably just a little practice and not a lot more as you mentioned

Cheers

That's kind of you to say, but I know that I need to do a lot of work on getting the faces to look right yet!
