1/16 Dragon Signaller, HG Div, Tunisia 1943 pt4

I am very nearly done my figure. I added all the personal gear and attached the head.




I tried to correct a couple of details. The gas mask strap was origionally molded as a solid wedge. I removed the molded piece completely from the cross straps and replaced it with plastic strip. An additional strap that anchors the canister to the belt at the back was also added. The water bottle clips onto the breadbag so I replaced the ring on the bag with a thin wire loop and fashioned a clip and strap from flattened out solder wire. Since the signaller is holding the flare gun I removed the molded strap from the holster and replaced it with a platic stip one so it looks unfastened.

The trousers are finished now. I started with a base coat of Vomit Brown + a bit of Orc Brown. The shadows where the base coat + Scorched Earth with the deepest shadows made by adding a bit of Chaos Black to the mix.



Highlights where added by first adding more Orc Brown to the base mix then adding Elf Flesh for the final highlights.



To unify and smooth out some of the transitions I gave the whole area a thin wash of Scorched Earth.
