German MG42 Gunner, Totenkopf Division, Kharkov 1943, 1/10 Scale(LM-B023) - LIFE MINIATURES
26 High Quality Resin Parts

PAINTED BY IBRAHIM ONER

FACE
On face, I followed the instructions of Jaume Ortiz videos on Vallejo’s YouTube channel. I just modulated shadows with violet and green. I preferred lighter highlights for cold effect as the bust was in Kharkov in winter season.

HELMET
I used hair sprey technic for winter wash. I used WWII German fieldgrey for the base color. After I finish the winter wash I modulated it with variations of white. Finally I used pigments and earth wash for weathering.

KHARKOV JACKET
I used Vallejo German fieldgrey for the base color of the Kharkov Parka. I like middlestone for German uniform modulation. I finished the park with edging and outlining, black and sunny skin tone

LEATHERS
Before painting leather parts on the bust, I searched references on internet. I changed tones of brown due to the references. I started painting with dark colours to lighter ones. I gave worn effect with sponge technic. At the end I used sepia for wash.

MACHINEGUN MG42
After painting the MG with black, I outlined the edges with pencil. Applying a dark grey wash exposed the details. For metallic effect I used dark steel pigment. I applied it with my finger.

WOOD
Oils with dry brush technique is very simple and realistic in painting wood. I used reddish tones for new wood and yellowish tones for old wood.
