Germanic Warrior by Pegaso Models

Hi there!
Welcome to my new modelling blog!
I finally decided to create one, so I can share my stuff with you guys.
First off, a beautiful figure by Pegaso Models. I bought it on the fifth of January 2007, my nineteenth birthday, on a trip to Berlin, where a monthly IPMS Germany meeting took place. I started it maybe a week after I bought it and until last week it just sat there on my shelf, waiting to be completed. I took quite a long break from modelling due to my graduation from the Gymnasium, then I moved from Schwerin to Rostock and started studying information technology. I just finished my first semester, so now I have some time for modelling again. Of course I first finished this little guy. Okay, enough of the chit-chat, on to the pictures.

First, some early WIP pics of the face

Now, some photos taken by my good friend Mario at the annual modelling expo in Rostock

I "stole" the idea for the shield drawing from G. Bradley Spelts, who posted his pictures on www.planetfigure.com (great site!)

A close up of the mud. It's made from ground pastel chalks, fine sand, ground leaves, PVA glue and water. The oak leaves are from plus model.
