Excellent work, Paolo.  Herr Voss looks a little "washed out", though. :D

Your groundwork on the base is perfect! What a beautiful picture your DIII makes. I am Looking forward to seeing the figure done!

thank you all! I'm happy you like it...
my girlfriend said "oh, just another of your grass airfields"....! :P

waiting for the white flowers, I started to ruin the voss's figure. actually it looks awfully flat, I'm thinking seriously to strip it down and restart from zero.

the face has very delicate lineaments, that I covered totally with too many layers of acrylics and oils colors.

by the way, someone knows for sure the colors of the details on cap and the medal on the neck? I didn't find any reference for those...

and that's the whole. despite of the picture, there are at least five tones of grey for the jacket, and three for the trousers... bleak. :(

since tomorrow I leave for another long working shift, I have plenty of time to think if do it again or not...
bye bye, p. ;)

Hi Mc.

Your base it's very nice indeed! Alot better with the grass!

About the medal... it's the Pour le Merite. You may see how they looked in Russels thread, there's a picture with him holding 2 of them.

http://forum.ww1aircraftmodels.com/index.php?topic=1960.0

About the cap and uniform... your going fine imo. You just need a darker wash and to give some lights in the end... but i'm no figure man. Watch the red band in the cap and you may also try to outline in red some parts of the uniform, and to have some golden buttons... check the third guy from left.




Sorry if i can't be more helpfull.

Cheers

Voss is looking good! Just a little difference in the flesh and uniform final finishes and I think it will look stunning! Once the details,buttons for instance, are painted I think you will have it nailed!

how much time!

after several trying with figure(s), I gave up. it seems that I reached my bottom line... so, added few white flowers, glued the cart and figure on the base, and that's all, finish, to me.

here compared with the DH2, just to show the difference between the two greens...

Amazing work, Paolo!  You almost had me at the end...I thought you snuck in a
photo of Herr Voss & his Alby.  Marvelous job of both, my friend, something to be
very proud of!

Cheers,
Ernie :)
