I got a little nostalgic in the hobby store today and picked up pack of classic Afrika Korps soldiers, now in the new paint friendly K-resin.
The figures has recived a base coat of Army Painter Matt Black.
I think the best way to paint the figures fast is start from a black undercoat and use that to define small details like webbing, pouches and weapons, then use Army Painter Quick Shade to shade the whole figure in one go. Next I have to work out the best way to high light the figures.
I used some different Tamiya wethering sets to dry brush the figure. Finally I sealed the paint job with Citadel satin varnish. I need to fill the ejector pin marks on the rest figures (I forgot it on this figure)
Nice job. Well done
ReplyDeleteI also cant resist going back in time and having a go at some old airfix stuff.... where it all began. Its great applying new and learnt techniques to these old figures. Gives them a new lease of life I think,
