Talking to GFM Manstein:
Please comment or I'll drop an Airborne Regiment on top of your house.............
Excellent work Manstein!
WOW! Amazing work as usual from you Manny! So you are planning to do the German figure next?
I consider myself old fashioned guy so I am asking you politely if I can marry your kit. Just a friendly reminder that you can not marry your own kit... it is illegal here in America.

Very nicely done! I really like how you captured the differnt shades of the uniform and equipment.
F is for FIRE, That burns down the whole town!
U is for URANIUM... BOMBS!

Well Manny--looks like you got the right colors in the right places---But I think you have some serious Dio work ongoing and I for one am really looking forward to seeing that progress.

Great work Manny! very life like, and love the look on his face when next to to german! looks like he is looking down on him.
What was the color used for the uniform?
Excellent painting. Definitely one of your best.

Grimmo What was the color used for the uniform?
Really nice Manny. The uniform colors look spot on. You've really captured that longest day look on his face.
Now for the one small bit, the rifle sling. It should hang down more.

Super-cool!
You're giving me a hankering to try a 1/16 scale figure.

Great job. It looks amazing expecially the face.
I think I'll try a 1/16 figure. What would be the average price of one?

You guys think I should smear some black grease paint on his face? Been thinking about adding that......
Look, I stuck my toes into the figure threads! Good looking stuff Manny. So with the larger scale figures, are you using oils or enamels for most of the painting? I've got some 1/35 and 1/48 figures that I need to work on and am using Humbrol enamels for the brush work. Good coverage but I sort of have to dry-brush the highlights etc instead of blending like I probably could with oils.

Hey, what you doing in here?
Well, for everything but the skin, I am also a Humbrol man...for the flesh I go the oil route...I paint flesh mostly dark to light (except with some chick figs)...raw umber is my friend...
I heard rumours of chick figures!
Dark first to give the shadows, build the highlights up... makes sense, especially in the smaller scales I deal with.

Those are 1/35?! Looking really good. For places where you're using a spotted camoflage, how do you avoid having those spots build up & look, uhh, lumpy? Several very thin coats I'm assuming?
I tend to get very good coverage w/ Humbrol...I find if you mix their enamels well before painting you can usually get good results with one coat on camo, as long as you go from dark to light...IMO Humbrol has the finest ground and richest pigments out there...
BTW, the fig 2nd from the left has the same leopard spots as that cat...???
Well I was thinking the same thing but didn't want to go off-topic!

Yep, always had good luck with Humbrol's paint, great for hand-brushing. I absolutely despise the little tin cans it comes in though...
Just run a search for "Bengal cat breeders" in your area (the eastern front right!), I'm pretty sure that's what you're looking for. Or you could start with a white cat & some Humbrol enamels...

Same thing I'm always saying about Floquil
Similar paint, better container (way smaller color range tho)
Thanks INDY - my LHS has a big railroad section that may have Floquil... I'd hate to think it has been sitting there all these years and I hadn't noticed it before. Those railroad folks are dangerous people!!
Maybe I can re-purpose a bunch of used paint jars, dump my Humbrols in as soon as I open them... I suppose stranger things have been done for this hobby.
I like Floquil, although they have the stigma of the RR thing...works very nicely on aircraft from my experience...
