Panzer crew [new WIP added 6/4/12]

[stone-cold-lead]

Beautiful work! Stunning really.
I agree about your black tones! Spectacular! Would you be so kind to say something about your colour choice?

Thanks 

The black jackets are just plain black highlighted with VGC Cold Grey. For the guns I used VGC Sombre Grey and other things like the overcoat used a VGC Khaki highlight.

Working on this chap right now.



Did a quick tutorial HERE on how I did the camo too.

Hi Sonny, there panzer crews are very nicely done.

If you get a chance in the future would you mind providing a painting tutorial for the camo you used please on the miniatures.

Great work and thanks for sharing.

Cheers,

Helen

Wow!   

[Keith]

Damn crisp painting! 

[Captain Blood]

My thoughts exactly. Crisp is precisely the word! We need this fellow in the Lead Painters League for sure!

I just fell of my chair.
These are fantastic, and it also means that I have to put some extra effort in to my panzers that I am painting at the moment. I will be posting some pictures of them soon enough, but need to figure out how to do it without them looking like crap. And I just hope that they are good enough to use with your figures!
One thing, the camera seems to be able to "see through" my oversprayes, I use various oils and such to do oversprays over the cammo, wich looks fine in the flesh, but the camera seems to ignore them and just fotograph whats underneath. Very confusing. I have never been able to master the art of photographing, and propably never will, and with that in mind, I will ask a friend to take some pictures for me.
I am now putting my panzers back to the assembly line, and will be taking some extra time to try to live up to your standard!

Absolutely stunning paintwork, as allways, and I am very pleased indeed.

I have a small collection of figures, painted by my favourite artists, and I need a few figures from one more painter, then I am happy to have series of figures that I really love. These just made the collection even more loved.


Some info about the miniatures, the are indeed Artizan, and I do belive its the Panzer Lehr. However, I am using them as makeshift SS infantry, a prowling panzer crew. It was rather common in the SS, and happend all the time. Actually, there are full companies, and even battalions I belive, serving as infantry and reccon troops at times. They will also be part of a display I am making, sort of a large base, but big enough for a panzer and crew. The choise of camo and uniforms reflect my idea. It then, accidently, came out soo much better than I thought it would, all due to Mister Cold Leads fantastic skill with the brush, and naturally, his estehtic mind.

[Penchour]

wahoo, that's a terribly brillant paintjob 
Bravo !

Somebody missed the link in my last post. 

It was hidden down at the bottom though.

Tutorial HERE

Apologies if anyone had clicked through and wondered where the all important 'step 3' was. Seems it disappeared over night. Webs is a bit rubbish like that. All fixed now though.

[stone-cold-lead]

Glad you like them Galland 

[Galland]

I dont "like" them, its awe and love. Strong words indeed, but never the less, the truth!

Thank you Sonny.

I'm not Sonny, that's Galland whom these models are for. 

You're welcome all the same 

Hope the little tutorial is useful to folks.

That paintjob alone makes me want to steal my friend's panzer grenadiers and start doing that oak leaf pattern 

[Remington]

Thank you for the black info! Nice work with the new one as well!
