Wiking Paintworks Trophy - My entry (and the finished Panther)

As you might have read on Burns' or Morks  Blog, Wiking is hosting a Figure-Painting-Trophy for 20mm Figures that suit to Behind Omaha.
Now I'd like to show you my entry:
Willy, the Richtschütze of the feared Panther:

Willy proudly wears the Panzerkampfabzeichen in silver, as well as the Eiserne Kreuz II. Klasse.
He wears the black Panzer-Uniform which shows the shoulderflaps and the collarpatches in the Panzer-Color "Pink".

Willy is -as his comrades- originally a Crew-Member of the Italeri (ex-Esci) Panzer IV. To be honest, Willy was not really painted for the Trophy. I made him in early December, but as I was lacking time to paint some more sophisticated Mini, well, he was chosen for the Trophy...

Yesterday, after almost a week of no progress at the office - as well as on my hobby-desk (due to some nasty cold), I was able to finally finish the vehicle, Willy is sitting on: The Panther Ausf. A by Revell:

I will post some more detailed shots these days...

Until then,
have a nice time!

Good luck to all other participants of the WTP :)
...and thanks for reading!

  5. One little thing concerning WillY. I would suggest a little wash with Ogryn flesh for the hair and the face. And I use Revell "graublau" for a light drybrush of the uniforms at Tank Crew Uniforms.

  6. Thanks to all of you :)
    @Mork: I washed Willys face with Ogryn flesh ;)
    Twice... :D
    But not the hair, the wash completely sucked off the blonde hair at the first time...
    The graublau is a good advice, i should get me some, before I fix these figures with glue!

    Again, thank you all for your kind words ;)
