Alex K Posted September 8, 2015 Author Share Posted September 8, 2015 Paul Von Hindenburg and chair A not often seen photo of Hitler and his kepi. I understand he hated this particular photo so much as he felt it made him look stupid so he had it banned. I leave it to viewers to decide if his fears were justified! regards Alex K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 Wish I had the patients to do something like that. I've given it a go but it wasn't much cop.Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex K Posted September 8, 2015 Author Share Posted September 8, 2015 Hi Tony, don't despair, it's really not that difficult, it DOES require practice and with some a degree of patience, particularly if they are wearing lots of "Jewellery" regards Alex K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 This was my first attempt, luckily they're not high ranking officials or German which heavily reduces the chance of them wearing shiny objects. I wasn't happy with some of the colours and don't know what possessed the lady to wear such a bright coat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex K Posted September 9, 2015 Author Share Posted September 9, 2015 Hi Tony, I actually quite like it, it has a nice "Period" look to it, as far as the coat goes, there's no accounting for taste, but I suppose in wartime you have to cheer youselves up somehow! I do Generals with lots of "Bling" as it becomes more of a technical challenge more me to achieve, and gives me lots of practice, (I do have lots of others without so much fireworks on their chests) regards Alex K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice attempt. the flesh colours are very good.

lazyschnauzer Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 Larry T - Can't tell you how much I've enjoyed your colorizing the posted photos! Really neat! Do you consider suggestions for photos to colorize? If yes, do any of these WW1 Germans provoke an interest? If you don't have uniform color references, I can provide them. All the best, Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LarryT Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 (edited) Hi Dan, Thank you for the nice comments. I have never tried to colour WW1 photos. 95% of photos I colour come from my own collection which is WW2 related. However, I do colour photos for other people and for books so a WW1 uniform colour reference would be much appreciated. Cheers, Larry Edited February 7, 2016 by LarryT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lazyschnauzer Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 I've loaded most of my collection of color uniform, equipment and weapons references for the Great War on www.Planetfigure.com Uniform Reference pages. They're broken down by combatant nation, in some cases the year of the war represented. If you are looking for a specific reference, let me know and I'll see what I can find.
