ColinRF Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 (edited) Hre is my completed original 1/6 scale portrait of Admiral Canaris, head of German military intelligence (the Abwehr) and major participant in the resistance against the Nazis. He was arrested immediately after July 20, 1944 and was executed at Flossenburg April 9, 1945. He holds one of his two cherished wire haired dachsunds - Kasper.

drclaw Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 Wow! This is simply amazing! Thanks for posting these lovely images. I paint 28 mm miniatures and have yet to find the courage to paint 54 mm. 1/6th scale doesn't even feature in my wildest dreams. Was the model pre-sculpted resin or metal? What paint brand did you use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColinRF Posted June 9, 2013 Author Share Posted June 9, 2013 (edited) Thanks gents - this is a scratch-built item that I sculpted. The piece is painted in Vallejo, Golden and Liquiutex acrylics with some use of Liquitex and Citadel inks. See http://www.planetfigure.com/members/crf.2243/#vbench for links to how it was sculpted and painted as well as other work.

ColinRF Posted June 13, 2013 Author Share Posted June 13, 2013 He was too shiny so I gave him a dose of dull coat. This is better. Colin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
