Assembly of the figure sorted and arms reposed, the basic work was with white acrylic airbrushed on.
I prefer to use acrylic if there is a lot of white as it takes a heck of a
lot longer for the white to yellow unlike enamels.
Black and grey areas were enamels. The helmet was left off to make things a bit easier.
Weathering by the ole reliable ground pastel chalks. Now to the weapon and gear.
The customer wanted 'the big round barrel rifle', so after reviewing the film i saw what he wanted.
The full size weapon was a British Lewisgun with the watercooling jacket so one short length of coppertube,
some plasticard, perspex, rubber piping and a carved wooden butt, that was that.
