Good afternoon l&g.
Most of you that are following my posts and are regular readers, you must have noticed that most of the latest posts were 'British' oriented. As a person that doesn't fed up easily, I could keep on posting similar subjects, but I guess that you would get bored. And you would be right about that.
With this in mind, I present to you my newly acquired and painted German Staff officers from AB Figures (WH9 Officers/Staff personnel). These figures are so nicely sculpted (as most of the AB range offers), that I decided to dedicate more time in painting them, so as to be able to extract all their details. For this reason, and in this post, I will share photos of two painted officers, out of six that are contained in the pack.
I got the inspiration from photos in the web, since I lack basic knowledge regarding WW2 German Officers insignia. I hope that I managed to be as historically correct as possible.
On with the photos then:
The whole lot primed and painted in their basic colours:
And now the Hauptmann with his superior officer Generalmajor (without any washes applied):
And now 'washed' and varnished:
I hope you like 'em. Hopefully, there will be two more posts related to this pack of figs, so there will be a sequel... :-)
Have a nice Thursday nights folks!

And last, but not least the teaser photo of my next post:
Stay tuned! :-)

Thank you sir! Visit my new post and you will see how these turned out! :)
DeletePerrrrrrrrrrrr-fect Thanos!
ReplyDeleteAdequate Paul. I am only in the beginning. :)
DeleteI like them very much. The expression on the Hauptman's face is really interesting. The slight turndown to his lips gives him a real personality. Nice poses on these figures as well.
ReplyDeleteMore vehicles!!!! Will you photograph them as if they are coming directly at us like in previous posts?
Thank you Anne! :)
DeleteWow, stunning work Thanos.
ReplyDeleteThanks John. Too many good ideas in the web...I just can't help my self. :)
DeleteGreat work sir, very nicely done.
ReplyDeleteThank you Brummie! :)
DeleteHow the hell did you get such a good wash? My washing skills are 100% crap. What sort of wash do you use?
ReplyDeleteThank you James. I use some pure old wood varnish (acrylic based). Bought by a local hardware store. Cheap and effective. I have one in brown shade and one in black (as it was applied on those German officers)
DeleteA small excerpt of songlyrics that fits right here if you rip it out of its context:
