astern Front Series: German Infantry in Action 1941- 1942, Master Box

MB3522 1/35 scale by Grigoris Marmatakis

Grigoris painted this set using the triades Panzer Aces System by Vallejo Acrylics, first using the airbrush and then the brush. For the Field Grey uniforms he used the Field Grey Set and for the guns and metal hues from Vallejo Model Color. This is a commission work for a friend so these figures were going to be used in his diorama. New Hornet heads, sctratch-built straps for the guns and decals from Tamiya Sheet were used. Otherwise the painted set is straight out of the box. The following Vallejo colours have been used:

PANZER ACES

FLESH: Flesh Base 341, Flesh Highlights 342, Flesh Shadows 343

LEATHER-CANVAS: Canvas 314, Leather Belt 312

MODEL COLOR

GUNMETAL: Oily Steel 865, Gunmetal 863 (Vallejo Model Color)

Both groundworks are ready made Grass Mats from the well know company Model Scene. We just cut them in the appropriate size of the base and glued them using white PVA Glue!
