US Red Devil troops

@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.

You wouldn’t see Wittmann commanding from the rear.
But then he didn’t command a thin skinned recon company!
Lovely job. I cannot paint a wall.

Here is the T-28’s adversary, or maybe “victim”:

Thanks. I have been called McGyver in a coupl eother sites I posted these on now. For this to be compared to McGyver, they would need to be able to fire whole cabbages at the bad guys and knock them out  … oh wait, that was the A-team.
Thanks!

Heres the other half, you have to scroll down.

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

Like the laying down .30 cal guy also the bi-pod looks GREAT
