Canadian Stuart Troop w/ Company Commander

@Field-marshall said in Soviet Mountain Troops 1/72 - Ultima Ratio:

For starters just take a fine brush and apply a little wash in the bottom of any recessed areas to create the shadow effect. This is called “pin washing” and it is very effective at getting those details to pop out. You can make your own wash by taking a dark color paint and diluting it about 50/50.

Use dark dark brown on warm colors and black for cool colors for the wash?

Dry brushing is also almost like magic. First few times I did it, it wasn’t perfect but added a lot. After a few more tries,it just gets better.

I haven’t painted anything in years.

To go with my “V1.5” (1:110 scale) Muas (and soon to be E-100s) is this turret. It is completely interchangeable between Maus and E-100s, like all turrets I make for these.

This has all the different pieces pasted into 1 pic (I cant get them all on my flatbed scanner). Since they vary in angle and brightness, its not as good of a pic as what they really look like all together.

The camo looks pretty close to the Italian camo that the SS used late in the war.
