U-boat crewman bust

[JackG 2,474]

Also posted in the figure section, but since it is a maritime theme, have introduced it here as well.

Resin 1/10 scale kit from Young Miniatures, completed with Vallejo acrylics. Also tried just a hint of some red ocher weathering powder on the flesh areas, but most of it ended up painted over. The binocular straps were scraped off the bust, and scratch built new ones with two layers of Tamiya masking tape, stuck over top each other and then cut to size.

regards,

Jack

Caught the wind reddening. Nicely observered - and rendered!

A personal thanks to all of those kind comments.

longshanks - when you say you can almost smell him, hope it is the paint you refer to and not the aroma of a u-boat waffe crewman - lol.
