Dragon 1/16 Fallschirmjäger figure - Monte Cassino 1944 (N°1603 Warrior series)

I glued the body together and assembled the gun, cleaned up all the parts.

On the legs of the body there is a little putty needed but for the rest you can easily scrape off the plastic for cleanup. (update february 16th, 2006)

I will use enamels to paint the figure. What I do is paint the base color first. Then I add black to it for the recessed area's and shadows. Then add white for the highlights. These 3 colors are painted 'wet in wet', you make them blend into each other by brushing the wet colors into each other.

For the face I use the same wet in wet technique : I start with a base sand colour, then mix white and red giving various pinkish tones, these are blended into the wet sand color.

All parts painted :

Oil wash & assembly next (update april 6th, 2006)

Body assembled and now doing some oil washes. (update april 10th, 2006)

Then I did some drybrushing to highlight the details and finished it off with a dull coat.

I'm not a real figure painter so I can be happy with the result. (update april 14th, 2006)
