Hey, where is the partisan babe??

You got plans for these, or are they stand alone works?

Great work! I have to try one of those figures larger than 1/35 especially the American paratrooper. I can't remember which size of it? The German holindg MP44 is probably my favorite... of course I love those ladies too! The camo was outstanding! It would be great if you can post few pictures of the camo at closer range so I can study it closely. Painting camp is my biggest challenge... I could use any help or WIP!! Thanks Manny!

I'm really disappointed in her... was expecting something a little more, um, unconventional.

No, seriously, you do such nice work. You're one of the artists in this bunch, sir.

Beautiful work Manny!

I think you said Manny in scale and the paratrooper are 90mm?

Are the others 1/35?

Actually they are 1/16th which is more like 120mm, the rest are 35th...

This is amazing, manny put up a thread with so many figures and not a single one needed black bars censoring nudity. Big Smile

Great work as always, though if I can make a comment, it seems, atleast to me, that the shadowing on her boots is alittle to much at the top?

How do you do your shadows? I put up a nice review of Bandai's paint markers that I started using for shadows and light weathering that are great.

Looks great! two questions:

1. how do you paint the faces, they look great.

2. how did you paint the german camo and what colors did you use?

Looks great! two questions:

1. how do you paint the faces, they look great.

Base coat with Humbrol khaki; Use oils (dark to light) for flesh: umber, burnt sienna, yellow/brown ochre, titanium white...wash with raw umber...blend tones with mars red...

2. how did you paint the german camo and what colors did you use? Humbrol enamels are my fav....get as many shades of earth colors as you can find and experiment....field grey is a great color for plain German uniforms...
