A figure of a German tanker in winter dress from the period of the Second World War in 1:35 scale. A figure that gives a model of an armored vehicle both scale and a story.
Responsibility details are not available.
Winter was a discipline of its own for the crews of armored vehicles. There was practically no heating in the machine, hours of waiting in the frost were part of the job, and so tankers put on over their uniforms everything that came to hand: quilted suits, fur coats with high collars, knitted caps, scarves and mittens. The silhouette is therefore substantially bulkier in winter than in summer, and the soft folds of layered clothing outweigh the crisp edges of the uniform. It is exactly this difference that makes a winter figure a rewarding subject.
A German tanker in winter equipment in 1:35 scale, that is in the usual scale of models of military vehicles. The figure suits a vehicle, a diorama with snow and a model in a display case as well; where exactly it is placed is suggested by the modeled attitude of its body.
Cut away surplus material with a sharp blade a short distance from the part, sand the remainder and take the traces of manufacture off with a scalpel held flat. Wash and degrease the figure before painting, so that the paint holds, and spray on a base color. Build the skin up in layers from a darker undercoat to lighter high points; the clothing, by contrast, will take a dark wash into the folds and a fine dry brush along the edges. Choose the shades according to the documentation for the subject you are building. At the end a matte varnish, which unifies the sheen and keeps the muted look of a winter scene.
For modelers who build military vehicles in 1:35 scale and want a lively figure with them, and for builders of dioramas. Paints and glue are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
