Hi guys,

I have repainted the facial expressions of my Wittmann bust a little - let me know what you think as I am not a big figure painter. BR Morten

Not a big figure painter? you could have fooled me Seriously your Wittman bust looks great. Love the skintones. The pedestal looks very cool.

Hi Jesper,
Donīt make me blush here - but thank you for your nice comment.
I just canīt get the flesh-tones right. I have read almost every figurepainting book there is, but end up with that yellowish tone every time - dooh.
The Skull on the pedestal is actually a recast from an original SS-cap. painted flat black and dry-brushed with silver. The pedestal is an old leftover from a Dragon 1/16 figure.

best regards
Morten

Hey Morten
In my opinion the flesh tone looks good... It was summer after all, when he was scooting around Normandy! I don't know too much about German stuff, but he looks spot-on from what pictures I've seen
Cheers
Brad
