1/35 scale Russian Officer



This is a resin model by the company Alpine Miniatures. The quality of the models are superb, with almost no mold lines and minimal flash. As the models are very well sculpted and fairly easy to paint, I'll recommend them to beginners as well.

For this model, I went for a different painting style done on my fantasy models. This style of painting is commonly seen on historical and larger figures. I wanted to add more mood to the model by painting zenithal lighting coming from the direction as shown in the picture. As you can see, certain parts of the face and uniform is highlighted more then others. This is still a WIP shot which is about 85% finished. I've just glued on the head and hands for this shot. The hands, binos, boots and a few areas still needed attention.

I'll be doing up a vignette later on if time permits. This is my 2nd historical model and I'm already having a great time. I'll probably be painting more of these in future. Stay tuned for the final project shot. All critics are welcomed.
