Young Miniatures - Obersturmführer, SS Cavalry Division, Florian Geyer, 1944

Just thought I would kick start this month by sharing a "spotty" piece of work on the SS-Erbsenmuster I'm currently busy with. My personal take on Young's characterization - brutish features and the penetrating gaze - makes him out to be a villainous partisan hunter that feeds into the Waffen-SS stereotype.

I'm quite liking on how this leisure project is coming together; the caricatured look of the defined features allows more permutations of colors to be introduced into the color space. Phthalo Green was used as a shadow color around the eyes to convey an aura of evil to the gaze.


That is all for now. Hopefully new week heralds some free time to resume painting on the back of the figure.

Cheers, 

Calvin
